Kazakhstan’s manufacturing industry has shown sustained growth over the first 11 months of the year, with output rising by a combined 5.9%, Vice Minister of Industry and Construction Olzhas Saparbekov said at a government meeting on December 17 2025, according to Zakon.kz.
Saparbekov noted that positive dynamics were recorded across key manufacturing segments, including metallurgy, mechanical engineering, the chemical industry, construction materials, and light industry. In metallurgy, production volumes increased by 1.1%, supported by higher output of gold, copper, steel, and pig iron.
The vice minister said the overall improvement is largely the result of measures aimed at increasing utilization of domestic production capacities and strengthening raw material supplies for processing enterprises.
Mechanical engineering posted particularly strong growth, with output up 11.6%. The increase was driven by higher production of transport vehicles, agricultural and railway machinery, as well as various types of equipment and household appliances.
Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Economy Serik Zhumangarin reported that Kazakhstan’s economy expanded by 6.4% in January–November. Growth in the real sector reached 8.3%, outpacing the services sector, which grew by 5.3% over the same period.
