The main factor contributing to this growth continues to be metallurgy. In particular, the production of key metals and finished metal products (excluding machinery and equipment) amounted to 396.4 billion soms, which accounts for 62.2% of the total volume of the manufacturing industry. Thus, a significant part of the sector still depends on the metal industry complex.
The second most significant sector is food production, including beverages and tobacco products, with a volume of 104.7 billion soms (16.4%), indicating stable domestic demand and relative resilience of this segment.
The following sectors by volume are:
- rubber and plastic products, as well as other non-metallic mineral products — 72.5 billion soms (11.4%);
- textile industry, clothing, footwear, and leather products — 25.1 billion soms (3.9%);
- refined petroleum products — 15.0 billion soms (2.4%).
The physical volume index of manufacturing industries for the year was 109.8% compared to the period of January–December 2024, indicating a real increase in the volume of produced goods.
However, in December 2025, a decline in business activity is observed: the physical volume index was 112.8% compared to December 2024, which is lower than the figures of the previous months. This may indicate the influence of a high base or seasonal slowdown.
