Rolled metal is an important category of products produced by industrial enterprises of Uzbekistan. Sheet, section, shaped, pipe-rolling or artistic products made from ferrous or non-ferrous metals are in great demand in many economic sectors - from the production of packaging materials and electrical appliances to construction and oil refining. In Uzbekistan, rolled metal products are produced at specialized metallurgical plants, and are also supplied by distribution companies from abroad.
What is the current situation on the rolled metal market in Uzbekistan?
Currently, the volume of metal exports in Uzbekistan is about 8% of the total volume of exports, and the contribution of the metallurgical industry to the country's GDP reaches 7.5%. In addition, this area has a significant impact on related sectors of the economy.
Based on the results of the analysis of the activities of the companies presented in the section “Metal rolling in Uzbekistan" on the Golden Pages website, we can conclude that in this area there is high level of competition both among manufacturers and among product suppliers. Despite the saturation of the rolled metal market, this industry is quite promising for the development of new business and is open to cooperation with foreign partners.
In particular, today about 94% of the total production volume in the field of ferrous metallurgy is used for the production of construction metal products in Uzbekistan. At the same time, there is a shortage of mineral resources in the industry, which explains the high demand for imports of iron ore raw materials. In contrast, the non-ferrous metallurgy sector is characterized by a developed raw material base, which minimizes the risks associated with the supply of raw materials. At the same time, there is a shortage of certain types of ores in this industry, which necessitates the import of these metals from abroad.
What to expect in the future?
The government is currently developing a concept on the introduction of innovative technologies for the production of various metal alloys based on local raw materials. It is expected that these alloys will be used in the automotive industry and other economic sectors. In the medium and long term, it is planned to take the following measures:
- removal of restrictions on the procurement of waste and scrap of non-ferrous and ferrous metals by companies with foundry facilities;
- stimulation of investment activity in the rolled metal industry ;
- development of “small” metallurgy based on local deposits;
- increasing the production of rare earth metals for the production of radio electronics;
- promotion of new types of rolled metal products on the market;
- promotion of new types of rolled metal products on the market;
- promotion of new types of rolled metal products on the market;

- reducing dependence on imports, increasing the export potential of local enterprises.
