Kyrgyzstan recorded growth across all four major industrial sectors in 2025, with overall industrial output increasing by 10.6% compared to the previous year.
The strongest growth was recorded in water supply, waste treatment and recycling, where production expanded by 23.1% year-on-year, according to Kazinform.
Mining output increased by 14.2%, while electricity, gas and steam production rose by 11.2%.
Manufacturing, which accounts for 79.4% of the country's total industrial output, grew by 9.8%, slightly below the overall industrial growth rate.
However, the positive trend did not extend to all manufacturing activities. Several machinery and technology-related industries experienced significant declines.
Production of electrical equipment fell by 33.9% compared to 2024, while machinery and equipment manufacturing dropped by 40.7%.
The sharpest decline was recorded in computers, electronic and optical equipment, with output plunging by 66.2% year-on-year.
As a result, computer and electronic equipment production amounted to roughly one-third of its 2024 level. Electrical equipment output stood at approximately two-thirds of the previous year's figure, while machinery and equipment production reached around 59%.
The figures highlight the broad-based expansion of Kyrgyzstan's industrial sector in 2025, while also pointing to persistent challenges in engineering, machinery manufacturing and electronics.
