"UzTextile Expo Spring`22" - a review of the achievements of the textile and sewing and knitting industry

The Uzbek textile and garment industry remains one of the most dynamically developing sectors of the domestic economy. It is the engine of the development of related industries, leading in the implementation of international technologies, quality standards, and export volumes.

Every year more and more global companies and brands in the tailoring of ready-to-wear give preference to products under the sign "MADE IN UZBEKISTAN". Uzbek companies are actively increasing the pace of exports. So, in 2021, 1,250 companies were already carrying out export activities, products worth more than 3 billion US dollars were exported. The country began to actively increase exports to the EU countries, having received the status of a beneficiary of the GSP+ preferences programme in 2021, as well as having received a number of benefits for exporting textile products to the UK and other European countries.
