According to data from the National Statistical Committee, industrial production in Uzbekistan reached a volume of 637.2 trillion soms in the first half of 2026. The Navoi region demonstrated the largest production volume, generating 155 trillion soms.
Following the Navoi region were the city of Tashkent, which showed 109.6 trillion soms, and the Tashkent region, which reached 100 trillion soms. These three leading regions together accounted for more than half of the country's total industrial output for the period from January to June 2026.
The fourth place in the ranking was held by the Andijan region with production amounting to 54.2 trillion soms. Industrial output in the Samarkand region was 32.7 trillion soms, and in the Fergana region—29.6 trillion soms.
The Bukhara region produced goods worth 26.3 trillion soms, while the Kashkadarya region produced 25.5 trillion soms. The Jizzakh and Namangan regions reported equal production levels—20.3 trillion soms each.
The total volume of industrial production in the Khorezm region amounted to 18 trillion soms, while the Karakalpakstan Republic produced 15 trillion soms. The Syrdarya region registered 13.8 trillion soms, and the Surkhandarya region recorded the lowest figure among the territories presented—9.6 trillion soms.
Thus, the highest indicators of industrial production in the first half of 2026 were noted in the Navoi region, the city of Tashkent, and the Tashkent region, while the Surkhandarya region showed the smallest production volume.
In the first half of 2026, 338.9 trillion soums were invested in the economy and social sphere of Uzbekistan. This figure exceeds the amount invested during the same period last year by 17.5%.
The largest volume of investment was directed to the industrial, agricultural, and construction sectors. According to data from the National Committee on Statistics, industry became a priority area for investors, accumulating 100.5 trillion soums.
Following in terms of funding volume were agriculture, forestry, and fisheries with an amount of 32.9 trillion soums, as well as construction, which received 32.5 trillion soums. Another 29.9 trillion soums was allocated to the production and distribution of electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning.
Investments in housing construction amounted to 27.3 trillion soums, and 21.8 trillion soums were directed to mining. Significant funds were also allocated to transportation and storage (16.3 trillion soums), wholesale and retail trade, and car and motorcycle repair (13.7 trillion soums).
In the field of water supply, sewerage, waste collection, and processing, 7.4 trillion soums were invested. Education received 7.2 trillion soums, and information and communication received 5.8 trillion soums. 5.6 trillion soums went to services related to accommodation and food.
Professional, scientific, and technical activities, as well as healthcare and social services, received 4.6 trillion soums. Financial and insurance activities attracted 2.4 trillion soums, and 2 trillion soums were allocated to art, entertainment, and recreation. The remaining 24.4 trillion soums were distributed among other areas.

According to a press release from the National Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on Statistics, enterprises in Uzbekistan produced industrial output worth 637.2 trillion UZS between January and June 2026. This figure demonstrates an 8% growth compared to the same period last year.
As of July 2026, there were 63,300 industrial enterprises operating in the country. The largest number of enterprises was engaged in food production (12,700, or 20.1%), production of other non-metallic mineral products (8,900, or 14%), and light industry (6,400, or 10.1%).
Almost a quarter (42%) of the country's total industrial output is concentrated in just two regions: Navoi (155 trillion UZS) and the city of Tashkent (109.6 trillion UZS), as well as the Tashkent region (100 trillion UZS). These three regions also showed the highest output per capita: 139 million UZS in Navoi, 34.3 million UZS in Tashkent, and 31.5 million UZS in the Tashkent region, exceeding the national average of 16.6 million UZS.
Nevertheless, the growth rate of production per capita, which exceeded the average national indicator by 106.1%, was recorded in the regions of Jizzakh (110.3%), Samarkand (107.8%), and Andijan (107.4%), indicating that territories with smaller industrial bases are outpacing market leaders.
The manufacturing industry formed the basis of the industrial structure, accounting for 549.7 trillion UZS, or 86.3% of the total volume. Mineral extraction and quarrying brought in 42.4 trillion UZS (6.7%); electricity and gas production reached 41.7 trillion UZS (6.5%); while water supply and waste management totaled 3.3 trillion UZS (0.5%).
Within the manufacturing sector, the largest share was held by the production of food, beverages, and tobacco products (16.8%), followed by metal products, machinery, equipment, and motor vehicles (16.3%), textiles, clothing, and leather goods (13.9%), and chemical products, rubber, and plastic products (6.6%).
Car production increased significantly: passenger car output rose to 235,800 units from 209,000 the previous year, and truck production increased to 2,750 from 2,300. The sharpest growth was demonstrated by BYD models, which almost doubled to 13,400 units, as well as Cobalt models, reaching 83,000 units. Automotive engine production increased to 126,700 units.
Among other major goods produced during the six-month period were 18.3 billion cubic meters of natural gas, 313,800 tons of crude oil, 2.5 million tons of coal, 614,200 tons of motor gasoline, 568,000 tons of diesel fuel, 10.1 million tons of Portland cement, 433,600 tons of yarn, and 724,100 tons of wheat and spelt flour. However, natural gas extraction decreased from 21.9 to 18.3 billion cubic meters, as did crude oil and gas condensate extraction.
Electricity generation reached 44.1 billion kWh in January–June 2026, which is 5.7% more than the previous year. Large enterprise generation decreased to 29.8 billion kWh, while small business generation grew by almost 37% to 14.3 billion kWh, reflecting the expansion of distributed generation.
Conversely, thermal power generation by large enterprises decreased by 18.1% to 9.3 million Gcal. Gas obtained through underground coal gasification was not produced in January–June 2026.
In the water supply and waste disposal sector, the volume of textile waste increased by 12.7% to 13,400 tons, and wastewater treatment services grew by 12.3% to 371.7 billion UZS.
