{{update|section|date=September 2013}}
The share of the transport sector in Ukraine's gross domestic product (according to statista) as of 2021 was 5.42%.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240519151733/https://www.statista.com/statistics/1322567/ukraine-share-of-gdp-by-sector/</ref> The number of workers employed in the sector is 8% of total employment.<ref>https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/ukraines-wages-and-job-loss-trends-during-war</ref> The transportation infrastructure of Ukraine is adequately developed overall, however it is obsolete and in need of major modernization. A remarkable boost in the recent development of the country's transportation infrastructure was noticed after winning the right to host a major continental sport event the [[UEFA Euro 2012]].

In 2009, Ukrainian infrastructure provided for the transportation of 1.5 billion tons of cargo and 7.3 billion passengers. As the global financial crisis took hold and demand for major export commodities in 2009 fell, the volume of freight traffic decreased by 17.6% when compared with figures from 2008; passenger transport fell by 12.7%.
