Uzbekistan’s market services volume reached UZS 916 trillion ($76bn) between January and November 2025, up 14.6% year-on-year, according to the National Statistics Committee.
Among service categories, financial services recorded the strongest expansion, rising by 23.7% year-on-year, followed by communications and information services, which grew by 22.6%. Rental services also saw robust growth of 19%, reflecting rising demand across both business and household segments.
Growth remained strong in social and professional services. Healthcare services expanded by 15.3%, while architecture and engineering services increased by 15.2%, highlighting sustained investment activity. Trade services rose by 13.3%, and transport services by 12.9%, supported by higher economic and logistics activity.
Other service sectors also posted double-digit growth. Miscellaneous services increased by 13.1%, computer and household goods repair services by 12.8%, and personal services by 12%. Real estate-related services grew by 11.7%, while accommodation and food services expanded by 9.3%. Meanwhile, education-related services rose by 8.8%, indicating continued but comparatively moderate growth in paid education services.
Earlier reports show that Uzbekistan’s services sector has maintained strong momentum over recent years. The sector has expanded steadily over the past five years, rising from UZS 257.2 trillion ($21.3bn) in 2021 to UZS 735.6 trillion ($61.0bn) in 2024, reflecting sustained growth across trade, transport, communications, finance, hospitality, and other service industries.
Additionally, Uzbekistan’s services sector has expanded rapidly, creating more than 1.5 mn permanent jobs and increasing in value from $19bn in 2018 to $65bn. Earlier this year, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev emphasized the need to further unlock the sector’s potential, noting uneven development across regions and industries.
While private investment in areas such as healthcare, aviation, and energy has exceeded $20bn, gaps remain in transport connectivity and basic infrastructure, which continue to limit growth in tourism and other service segments.
