A Snapshot of the Textile Sector

Uzbekistan is shifting toward higher value-added production in its textile industry. The sector focuses primarily on processing cotton fiber, leather, and silk into semi-finished and finished goods. As a result, value-added products such as knitwear, ready-made garments, and footwear now account for approximately half of all textile exports.

Uzbekistan is preparing for a major transformation in its textile industry, with plans to double exports to $6.5 billion by 2026. This bold goal reflects the nation's commitment to becoming a dominant force in the global textile market by harnessing its rich cotton legacy and strategic foreign investments.
