Kazakhstan to launch 190 industrial projects this year

This year, Kazakhstan plans to launch 190 industrial projects worth $3 billion, setting a record for the past five years. New manufacturing facilities are expected to appear in the construction, chemical, machine engineering, and metallurgy sectors. Nine major projects will be implemented in the latter three areas over the next decade. Once they reach full capacity, the production output will approach $7.3 billion. Notably, two of these projects will start this year, including a car manufacturing plant in Kostanai with an annual output of 70,000 vehicles, and a multi-brand car factory in Almaty, producing 90,000 cars per year. For the first time in five years, Kazakhstan’s manufacturing sector has grown by 5.9%, with the total production volume reaching 24.5 trillion tenge.

«Several projects are planned for single-industry towns, which, upon reaching full design capacity, are expected to generate an economic impact of over 2.2 trillion tenge. Last year, a plant for manufacturing brake pads and springs for railway trains was launched in the Kostanai region in collaboration with foreign partners. Its products are now supplied to various Eurasian markets, including Slovakia, Türkiye, Germany, and Romania. This suggests that these products are highly sought after and widely used in international markets,» said Dauren Baiduissenov, Managing Director of the QazIndustry Center for Industry and Export.
