Abstract

This study provides a detailed analysis of the import trends of household chemicals in Uzbekistan from 2020 to 2022, focusing on key product categories such as hair lacquers, air fresheners, shampoos, and insecticides. The findings reveal significant growth in the import volumes of shampoos and hair lacquers, driven by increasing consumer demand and the introduction of international brands into the local market. Conversely, the study documents a decline in the import of insecticides, suggesting a shift towards local production and alternative pest control methods. This research highlights the evolving dynamics of the Uzbek market, underscoring the impact of economic factors and consumer preferences on import trends. The results contribute valuable insights to stakeholders in the chemical import industry, offering a foundation for strategic planning and decision-making in response to the changing market landscape. This analysis not only charts the growth trajectory of these imports but also explores the implications for market competitiveness and regulatory policies, providing a critical resource for industry analysts, policymakers, and corporate strategists.
