Uzbekistan continues to strengthen its position as one of Central Asia's fastest-growing markets.
According to the latest official statistics, the country's foreign trade turnover reached $41 billion in the first half of 2026, marking a 7.4% year-on-year increase.
Reading the number
Headline trade figures are easy to publish and easy to skim past. What makes this one useful is the direction and consistency: sustained growth in trade turnover reflects continued expansion of Uzbekistan's international trade relationships rather than a one-off spike in a single commodity or a single partner market.
For companies looking at market expansion, trade, logistics, investment or strategic partnerships, indicators like this describe the operating environment — a market with growing volumes, which generally means growing demand for the services that move, store, finance and distribute those volumes.
Where Georgia fits
Uzbekistan's growing importance as a regional trade and logistics hub connecting Central Asia with global markets is directly relevant to Georgia. A significant share of that trade travels the Middle Corridor, and Georgia sits on it.
Rising Uzbek trade volumes translate into rising demand for Georgian transit capacity, warehousing, logistics services and, increasingly, higher-value activity built around those flows.
