Abstract

The article explores the impact of current challenges on Ukraine’s logistics sector, emphasizing its crucial role in supply chain management and integration into the global economy. Political instability and military conflicts have severely disrupted logistics, particularly due to port closures and transport route blockages, necessitating immediate strategic adjustments by companies. The study examines the evolution of the logistics market and how global and local factors influence process optimization. The need for new strategies to rebuild the damaged logistics infrastructure during post-crisis recovery is substantiated. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, including trend analysis, comparative analysis, expert interviews, and case studies, the article offers a comprehensive understanding of the Ukrainian logistics market’s dynamics and challenges. It identifies key industry transformations, such as digitalization, shifts in international trade, and adaptations to domestic market conditions, underscoring the importance of integrating advanced technologies into supply chain management. The article also emphasizes the critical role of flexible and efficient logistics strategies in supporting the national economy’s sustainability amid global challenges and internal shifts. It highlights the role of adaptive logistics in maintaining economic stability and international competitiveness while addressing the opportunities and challenges these strategies present.
