The number of passenger cars imported to Uzbekistan has grown dramatically!

According to new data published by the National Statistics Committee, in January-April 2025, Uzbekistan imported 12,071 passenger cars from abroad with a total value of 213.7 million US dollars. This indicator clearly shows that the demand for foreign cars in the country is steadily growing.

The vast majority of imported cars - about 82 percent - came from China. In particular, 9,904 passenger cars were imported from this country. This confirms the growing share of the Chinese automobile industry in the Uzbek market.

Full statistics on import sources are as follows:
- China – 9,904 units
- Republic of Korea – 1,714 units
- India – 168 units
- Japan – 97 units
- USA – 41 units
- Other countries – 147 units

Such a huge volume of imports, on the one hand, serves to satisfy the population's need for vehicles, but on the other hand, it may require serious changes in the transport infrastructure, logistics and tax system.

At the same time, these figures also make it necessary to reconsider the analysis of the competitiveness of the auto industry and the domestic market in the country. Because a sharp increase in import volumes is also a big test for local manufacturers, who may be forced to reconsider their quality and pricing policies.

In particular, the low cost of Chinese cars, modern equipment and fast delivery options are among the factors that make them attractive to local consumers. At the same time, cars from countries with advanced auto industries such as Korea and Japan are also maintaining their place in the market with their high quality and long service life.

According to data, car imports are expected to continue at a high pace in the remaining months of 2025. This requires new solutions for both government agencies and economists regarding transport policy, tax incentives, and stimulating local production.
