Kyrgyzstan's industrial production reached 799.7 billion soms ($9.14 billion) in 2025, the National Statistical Committee reported. This marks the highest figure in the country's history and represents nearly a five-fold increase compared to 2011, when the sector produced goods worth 164.4 billion soms ($1.88 billion), Akchabar.kg reports.
Kyrgyzstan's industrial sector has demonstrated consistent growth dynamics over the past 10 years.
According to the National Statistical Committee:
- 2016: 209.8 billion soms ($2.40 billion)
- 2019: 284 billion soms ($3.25 billion)
- 2021: 370.5 billion soms ($4.23 billion)
- 2022: 435.8 billion soms ($4.98 billion)
- 2023: 495.3 billion soms ($5.66 billion)
- 2024: 599.8 billion soms ($6.85 billion)
Thus, in just the past year alone, growth amounted to nearly 200 billion soms ($2.29 billion). For comparison: in 2012, amid economic instability, the figure dropped to 137.2 billion soms ($1.57 billion). Over the past decade, the industrial sector has evolved from volatility to sustained expansion.
Industry remains one of the key sectors of Kyrgyzstan's economy, contributing a significant share of GDP, providing employment, and creating export potential. Production growth directly impacts increased tax revenues, enterprise capacity utilization, and socio-economic development in regions where major manufacturing and mining operations are located.
Reaching the 799.7 billion soms ($9.14 billion) milestone confirms that the industrial sector has become one of the main drivers of the country's economic growth. For Kyrgyz entrepreneurs, this signals expansion of the domestic market and growing investment opportunities. For regions, it presents a chance to strengthen industrial specialization, create new jobs, and raise income levels.
Experts note that maintaining positive trends will require continued investment in production modernization, infrastructure development, and workforce training.
