During 2016, Ukraine increased its export of New Year’s toys and decorations, opened a number of new markets, and also reduced trade levels of these goods with Russia, as was stated by a Sales Representative of Ukraine, Nataliya Mykolska, in her column published in Yevropeyska Pravda.

"Our toys are available in 25 countries and their exports are growing. For the last 10 months of this year, we have exported goods worth $4.5 million, while exports during the same period last year grew at only 16.7%,” Mykolska announced.

According to her, almost all of Ukraine’s seasonal exports are glass toys. The main export market is the EU; almost two thirds of all goods were exported there.

The Netherlands have become the leading importer of Ukrainian holiday goods. "Almost 31.1% of the total exports of Christmas decorations that are sold abroad by Ukrainian manufacturers and 49.9% of our total exports to the EU were sent to this country," Mykolska said.

New markets have also appeared this year, including the Maldives and Iceland.
