In a recent interview, Oleksandr Dunaysky, Director of the Steel Structures Division at Metinvest-SMC, emphasized that Ukraine’s large-scale infrastructure reconstruction is now the main driver of growth in the steel structures market.
Key Takeaways from the Interview:
-
Post-War Rebuilding Fuels Demand: The destruction caused by the war has accelerated the need for bridges, logistics hubs, utility networks, and energy infrastructure, driving structural steel consumption.
-
Shift in Project Requirements: Dunaysky notes a growing focus on durability, rapid assembly, and seismic resistance, pushing manufacturers to upgrade design standards and fabrication technologies.
-
Market Evolution: The Ukrainian steel structure market is increasingly looking to integrate engineering and production, providing end-to-end solutions that reduce project lead times and meet higher quality expectations.
-
Government and Donor Role: Public-private partnerships and donor-supported projects are expected to sustain market momentum in 2025 and beyond.
This trend not only supports Ukraine’s reconstruction but also repositions its steel industry as a key enabler of modern, resilient infrastructure. As demand grows, companies like Metinvest-SMC are investing in innovation, capacity, and expertise to lead this transformation.
