Uzbekistan’s export volume reached $33.8bn in 2025, according to data from the National Statistics Committee, representing an increase of nearly $32bn compared to 1991, when exports stood at $1.8bn.

Over the past 35 years, export growth has been uneven but steadily upward overall. After rising to $3.7bn in 1995, exports declined slightly to $3.3bn in 2000, before increasing to $5.4bn in 2005. A major jump followed in 2010, when exports reached $13.0bn, although levels slightly decreased to $12.5bn in 2015.

Growth resumed in the following years, with exports reaching $15.1bn in 2020 and continuing to rise steadily to $16.7bn in 2021, $19.7bn in 2022, and $24.9bn in 2023. The upward trend accelerated further, reaching $27.3bn in 2024 and climbing to a preliminary $33.8bn in 2025.

The data highlights Uzbekistan’s long-term shift toward greater integration into global trade, with export volumes expanding significantly since independence and accelerating in recent years.

Uzbekistan’s foreign trade activity has remained strong into 2026 as well. In January, total trade turnover reached $5.8bn, up 29.2% year-on-year, with exports rising 26.7% to $1.69bn and imports increasing 30.3% to $4.14bn, resulting in a $2.44bn trade deficit.
