The leader of the rating: ATB-Market

For the third year in a row, ATB-Market has been ranked first in terms of revenue. In 2024, the company’s revenue grew by 15% to UAH 208.9 billion, which is 39.5% of the total revenue of the top 10. The chain’s profit reached UAH 3.1 billion, ranking it second in this indicator.

ATB also plays an important role in the country’s economy: last year, the company paid UAH 28.61 billion in taxes and fees, which is UAH 4 billion more than in the previous year. The network plans to further increase its tax contributions and support defenders and civilians.

Champion in terms of profit: Bargain shopping / Aurora

The leader in terms of profit was the Bargain / Aurora chain, which earned UAH 4.08 billion. In terms of revenue, the company ranked third with UAH 37.9 billion (40% for the year). In 2024, Aurora changed its focus from wholesale to retail, which brought significant results.

The chain is actively expanding: more than 300 new stores have been opened, and almost 3000 jobs have been created. Currently, Aurora has 1615 stores in Ukraine and 30 in Romania, demonstrating its ambitions in the international market.

Top 10 retailers: who else is in the lead?

Novus Ukraine reported revenue of UAH 29.01 billion (23%) and profit of UAH 561 million. CEO Mark Petkevich emphasized:

“We paid over UAH 2.5 billion in taxes and donated UAH 155 million to charity. More than 70% of the assortment is Ukrainian goods, which supports national producers.”

Among other leaders:

• Metro Cash & Carry Ukraine/Metro: revenue of UAH 28.75 billion (12.5%), profit of UAH 178 million (the first profit after two years of losses).
• RUSH / EVA: revenue of UAH 26.93 billion (28%), profit of UAH 1.4 billion.
• Omega/Varus: revenue UAH 20.02 billion (14%), profit UAH 38.2 million.
• Foodcom/Velyka Kyshenya: revenue of UAH 19.92 billion (16%), profit of UAH 116.6 million.

Why did some companies not make it to the top?

Well-known chains such as Epicenter K / Epicenter (for the second year in a row) and Comfy Trade / Comfy (for the first time) were not included in the Index due to late reporting.

This emphasizes the importance of transparency for participation in the ranking.

What does this mean for the Ukrainian economy?

The 17% increase in retailers’ revenues and the absence of losses in the top 10 is a positive signal for the economy. Companies have not only adapted to the challenges of the war, but also actively support the state through taxes, jobs, and charity.

Industry leaders such as ATB and Aurora demonstrate that even in difficult times it is possible to scale up business and contribute to the country’s recovery.
