In the first 8 months of 2025, 7,988 companies relocated across Ukraine. IT is among the businesses that made the fewest moves.
Some businesses even managed to move several times, Opendatabot reports . Therefore, the number of moves is slightly higher than the number of companies — 8,345. This is almost the same as last year, and even 10% less than in 2021.
Companies operating in the trade sector are the most likely to move. The least likely are IT and warehousing.
This year, 205 IT companies moved to Ukraine, or 2.6% of the total number.
Most businesses move along the route to and from Kyiv. The main directions of business relocation remain routes between Kyiv and the regions. The most popular were moves from the capital to Kyiv region (494 companies), to Dnipropetrovsk region (379), and in the opposite direction: from Kyiv region to the capital (378). 358 companies moved from Kyiv to Kharkiv region, while 336 from Dnipropetrovsk region to the capital.
It is worth noting that the Kharkiv region is generally in the lead this year: more businesses moved to the frontline region than left it: +374 companies this year. The picture is similar in Zaporizhia (+276), Lviv (+161), Zakarpattia (+83) and Kyiv (+77) regions. However, in the capital, the opposite trend is observed: 657 more companies left than arrived. Dnipropetrovsk region (-102), Donetsk (-97), Volyn (-83) and Poltava (-62) are next in the negative balance.
