Kyrgyzstan’s pharmaceutical sector has almost doubled in size over the past year

Kyrgyzstan’s manufacturing sectors have shown significant growth in a number of areas, including wood processing, pharmaceuticals and the chemical industry. This growth has been driven by an increase in the output of specific product categories.

In the manufacture of wood and paper products, as well as in printing, growth was driven by increased output in the printing sector. Production in this sector grew by 1.8 times. Additionally, there was a 1.7-fold increase in the production of paper and cardboard.

Positive growth is also observed in the pharmaceutical sector. Here, the increase in output was driven by a rise in the production of medicines, which grew by a factor of 1.9.

In the chemical industry, the household products segment made the most significant contribution. Output of detergents, cleaning and polishing agents increased 4.7-fold, becoming the key driver of growth in the sector.

Experts attribute these figures to the expansion of domestic production and growing demand for products in core consumer segments.
