Industry plays a very important role in the economy and employment. Over the past years, 19 free economic zones and more than 400 small industrial zones have been created, and 10 trillion Uzbek soums have been allocated for their infrastructure in order to create necessary conditions for industries. $3 billion of financial resources were allocated to transform such industries as textile, chemistry, construction materials, leather, pharmaceutical and electro-technical industry into "drivers". Geological exploration has been tripled and more than 600 new deposits have been discovered to supply the industry with raw materials.

As a result, over the past five years, the number of industrial enterprises has doubled to 100 thousand, and the volume of production has increased by 1.4 times.

All these factors have a positive impact on the development of the regions. In particular, such new industries as construction materials, automotive, and food industry have emerged in Jizzakh. 220 projects on construction materials have been launched, and the share of this sector in the region's industry has exceeded 20 %.

19 major projects on metal processing have been implemented in Samarkand, Syrdarya, Namangan and other regions. In 2022, the output worth 3 trillion Uzbek soums produced in 54 new small industrial zones, established in Namangan.

Over the past three years, the volume of production in chemical industry has increased by 1.5 times and the export has doubled.
