A sector built on manufacturing
Manufacturing accounted for the overwhelming share of total industrial output at UZS 338.5 trillion, or 85.8% of the national total, growing at 8.5% year-on-year. Mining and quarrying contributed UZS 27.5 trillion (7.0%), electricity, gas, and steam supply UZS 26.6 trillion (6.7%), and water supply and waste management UZS 2.1 trillion (0.5%).
Within manufacturing, three broad groupings each accounted for around 16% of output: food, beverages, and tobacco; textiles, clothing, leather, and related products; and the combined category covering fabricated metal products, computers, electronics, electrical equipment, machinery, motor vehicles, and transport equipment. Chemicals, rubber, and plastics made up a further 6.4%.
Regional picture
Navoi region was the largest contributor to industrial output in absolute terms at UZS 100.5 trillion, though its growth rate of 5.0% was among the more modest. Tashkent city came second at UZS 63.7 trillion (up 7.0%), followed by Tashkent region at UZS 58.8 trillion (up 7.6%) and Andijan region at UZS 36.0 trillion (up 9.2%).
The fastest-growing regions were Jizzakh (up 9.4%), Samarkand (up 9.3%), and Andijan (up 9.2%). All 14 regions and the Republic of Karakalpakstan recorded positive growth.
When measured by industrial output per capita, Navoi region far outpaced the rest of the country at UZS 90.3 million per person, compared to the national average of UZS 10.3 million. Tashkent city came second at UZS 20.0 million, followed by Tashkent region at UZS 18.6 million. Per capita output nationally grew at 5.9%, with Jizzakh, Andijan, and Samarkand regions leading at 7.3%.
Key products
Among specific products tracked across large enterprises, cement output stood out sharply: 6.5 million tonnes were produced in January–April 2026, up from 4.8 million tonnes in the same period of 2025 and 4.5 million tonnes in 2024 – a clear reflection of the ongoing construction boom. Diesel fuel production also rose to 381,000 tonnes from 325,300 tonnes a year earlier, while petrol output recovered to 417,500 tonnes after dipping to 390,000 tonnes in 2025.
On the energy side, natural gas output continued a gradual decline, falling to 12.6 billion cubic meters from 15.0 billion in 2025 and 15.3 billion in 2024. Oil extraction also edged lower to 209,000 tonnes. Gas condensate production dropped to 319,300 tonnes from 395,200 tonnes the previous year.
