Metallurgy continues to be the main driver of growth, with the production of basic metals and finished metal products (excluding machinery and equipment) reaching 396.4 billion soms. This accounts for 62.2% of the total volume of the manufacturing industry, indicating the significant impact of the metallurgical complex on the sector.
The second largest sector by volume is food production, including beverages and tobacco products, with a figure of 104.7 billion soms (16.4%), reflecting stable domestic demand and the resilience of this sector.
The following are the next largest production volumes:
- rubber and plastic products, as well as other non-metallic mineral products — 72.5 billion soms (11.4%);
- textile products, including clothing, footwear, and leather goods — 25.1 billion soms (3.9%);
- refined petroleum products — 15.0 billion soms (2.4%).
The physical volume index of manufacturing industries at the end of the year was 109.8% compared to the same period in 2024, indicating real production growth.
However, in December 2025, a decline in business activity was observed: the physical volume index was 112.8% compared to December 2024, which is lower than the values of previous months and may indicate the influence of a high base or seasonal slowdown.
