Most often, companies operating in the trade sector relocate: in fact, this is every third business out of all those who relocated across the country. Businesses in the construction sector (6%), agriculture (5%), and real estate (5%) also frequently relocate.
Most companies move along routes to and from Kyiv. The most popular destinations are relocations from the capital to the Kyiv region (494 companies), Dnipropetrovsk (379), and also in the opposite direction: from the Kyiv region to the capital (378).

A similar situation is observed in Zaporizhzhia (+276), Lviv (+161), Zakarpattia (+83), and Kyiv (+77) regions.
