1. Market Overview
The Ukraine paper and paperboard import market in 2015 was valued at approximately USD 1.2 billion, making Ukraine one of the largest paper importers in Eastern Europe. The 363 customs records analyzed on this page represent a significant sample of the total import volume, with a particular focus on specialty paperboard products used in cigarette packaging, food packaging, label printing, and general packaging applications. The data reveals a strong European supply chain, with Sweden, Finland, Poland, and Germany being the dominant supplier countries.
The Ukrainian paper market in 2015 was characterized by limited domestic production capacity for high-quality paperboard, creating significant import dependency. The country's cigarette manufacturing industry (including major international tobacco companies like JTI, Philip Morris, and Imperial Tobacco) was the largest single consumer of imported specialty paperboard, driving demand for products like Koppargloss, Invercote, Batabak, and Multicolor Spezial brands. The food packaging sector, including Tetra Pak's Ukrainian operations, was another major consumer of coated paperboard imports.

8. Ukraine Paper Market Context
Ukraine's paper and paperboard market was valued at approximately USD 1.8 billion in 2015, with imports accounting for about 65 percent of total market supply. The country's domestic paper production was concentrated in a few large mills including PAT Rubizhansky Kartonno-Tara Kombinat, PAT Belaya Tserkov Cardboard Mill, and Kyev Cardboard Mill, but these facilities were unable to meet domestic demand for high-quality specialty paperboard. The import dependency was particularly high for cigarette packaging board, food packaging board, and label paper, where European manufacturers held dominant market positions.
