IMPROVING COST AND PRICING MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY ENTERPRISES

Abstract

The textile industry is one of the strategic sectors of the economy of Uzbekistan, playing a significant role in ensuring industrial growth, employment, and export diversification. The purpose of this study is to analyze the current state and development dynamics of textile industry enterprises in Uzbekistan, as well as to identify the key trends and prospects for further development of the sector. The research is based on statistical data from the association “Uztextileprom” and enterprise-level data from Osiyo Grand Tekstil LLC for the period 2020–2024, with forecast calculations up to 2030. The study applies analytical, comparative, and forecasting methods, including the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) approach to assess long-term development trends. The results demonstrate steady growth in production volumes, exports, and the diversification of textile products, with a gradual transition from raw cotton exports to the production of higher value-added finished goods. The findings indicate that further development of the industry requires modernization of production capacities, implementation of ESG practices, expansion of cluster-based production models, and improvement of cost management and pricing strategies.
