2024 CAITME Uzbekistan Central Asian International Textile Machinery Exhibition
Market introduction
Located in the center of Central Asia and the ancient Silk Road, the Republic of Uzbekistan is an important fulcrum country for the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. Its population of 31.3 million, accounting for 60% of the total population of Central Asia, makes it a big consumer market in this region. Moreover, the pillar of Uzbekistan's agriculture is cotton cultivation industry, whose annual cotton output accounts for two-thirds of the former Soviet Union's cotton output. Uzbekistan is the world's sixth largest cotton producer and the second largest cotton exporter, known as the "country of platinum".
In the past five years, the GDP growth rate has remained above 7%, the economic and trade environment is good, and the textile as an important industry of the national economy and foreign exchange earnings. At present, there are more than 3,500 textile enterprises and more than 4,700 garment enterprises in the field of light textile in the country, with an annual output of 700,000 tons of cotton yarn, 1.2 billion meters of fabric, 140,700 tons of knitted fabric, 2.2 billion pieces of clothing and 132 million pairs of socks. Textile and garment exports are 1.257 billion US dollars (including cotton).
Industry development:
1. 70% of cotton planting land will be allocated to enterprises for independent planting in the future;
2. Pay attention to industrial upgrading. Since the government called on enterprises to upgrade equipment, more than 80% of enterprises have completed equipment upgrading in two years; 3. The privatization of state-owned enterprises has been gradually completed. The Textile and Garment Association of Uzbekistan is stepping up cooperation with international colleges and universities. About 260 projects have been completed or are in progress.
4. Currently, Uzbekistan exports its products to about 70 countries. With the continuous development of its textile and garment industry, it plans to further expand its export to 90 countries.

5. After stopping cotton export in 2020, the country is in the process of transforming its export products to the downstream of the industry in 2020-2025, reducing cotton yarn export and retaining more added value of products in the country;
