Double outbreak of infrastructure frenzy and policy dividends! 2026 Uzbekistan BIG5 Building Materials Exhibition, leading the entrance ticket to the Central Asian market worth billions

When the dawn of Central Asia awakens the new vitality of the Silk Road, Uzbekistan is becoming a gold mining highland for global building materials companies with a nationwide infrastructure boom. As the core country with the largest population and stable economic growth in the region, Uzbekistan's infrastructure investment is expected to exceed 80 billion US dollars in 2026, and the demand for building materials in the market is showing explosive growth. The BIG5 Central Asian Five Countries Building Materials Industry Exhibition, which will be held at the Tashkent National Exhibition Center from August 26-28, is the golden key to unlocking this billion dollar blue ocean. This industry event, which gathers global resources and precisely connects with essential needs, is not only a stage to showcase product technology, but also a strategic hub for deep cooperation and shared development between Chinese and Ukrainian enterprises.

1、 The trend of the times: the infrastructure boom in Central Asia has spurred a demand for billions of building materials
（1） Driven by national strategy, intensive implementation of infrastructure projects
In his 2026 National Development Priority Speech, Uzbekistan President Mirziyoyev clearly stated that he will make every effort to promote the upgrading of transportation infrastructure and tourism facilities. Among them, 4000 kilometers of national highways will be modernized according to international "autobahn" standards, covering multiple core transportation arteries such as Anjiyan Kunrad and Tashkent Tiermez. At the same time, Samarkand Oblast, as a regional development benchmark, will invest 5.2 trillion Uzbekistan Sums (approximately 1.2 billion US dollars) in infrastructure construction, including key projects such as 298 kilometers of road reconstruction, 15 new overpasses, 70 substations installation, and 242 kilometers of water supply network upgrade
Urban renewal and livelihood projects are equally flourishing: Tashkent has launched the construction of 38 kilometers of BRT dedicated lanes, and China Construction Fifth Engineering Co., Ltd. has received $271 million in credit support for the construction of three BRT corridors and overpasses. The first batch of 3-kilometer bus lanes will be completed in September 2026; The national "Million Housing Units Plan" continues to advance, and the proportion of prefabricated buildings will significantly increase from 15% to 35%. The mandatory standard for green building materials has officially been implemented, creating a broad market space for high-quality building materials products.

（2） The market size has surged, and the product gap continues to widen
The overall size of the Central Asian building materials market has reached 12 billion US dollars, with Uzbekistan becoming the second largest market with a 25% market share and an annual growth rate of up to 12%. It is expected that the domestic market size will exceed 5 billion US dollars by 2026. Due to limited local industrial foundation, the self-sufficiency rate of high-end building materials is less than 45%, and many categories rely on imports to fill the gap: there is a strong demand for core infrastructure products such as green insulation materials, energy-saving wall materials, prefabricated concrete components, and new products such as photovoltaic integrated materials and intelligent construction systems are in short supply.
From the perspective of segmented fields, the gap in the glass products market is particularly significant. The Jizak Glass Factory invested and built by China Mingyuan Silk Road Industrial Company has become a benchmark project in Central Asia. After its third phase of 500 ton float glass production line is put into operation, it will completely change the local pattern of relying on imported high-end glass. The products not only cover the five Central Asian countries, but also are exported to European countries such as Poland; The field of insulation and fireproof materials also has enormous potential. The rock wool production line of the Futong project designed by Nanjing Fiberglass Institute has been successfully put into operation. The first batch of exterior wall insulation rock wool panels and color steel sandwich rock wool panels are directly adapted to local building energy-saving needs, filling the regional industrial gap. These successful cases fully prove that Chinese building materials products and technologies have become the core supply force in the Uzbek market.

2、 Policy Dongfeng: Comprehensive benefits reduce the threshold for going global
（1） Dual optimization of tariffs and customs procedures
In 2026, Uzbekistan will introduce the most favorable foreign trade policy in history: starting from March 1st, goods declared in advance can enjoy a 20% reduction in customs handling fees, with a maximum extension of 120 days for tariff payment and exemption from late fees; Starting from May 1st, enterprises can use regular declaration to pay customs taxes and fees in batches. Large taxpayers and high rated authorized operators can automatically complete customs declaration for imported goods without additional approval. The policy dividends of exempting specific building materials from tariffs and polymer raw materials from consumption tax from 2024-2026 have significantly reduced the export costs and financial pressure of Chinese enterprises.

（2） Intensifying incentive policies for localized production
The Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade of Uzbekistan will release the "Incentive Policy for Localized Production of Building Materials" during the exhibition period, providing up to 5 years of tax exemption for foreign-funded projects that meet environmental standards. Enterprises in the special economic zone can also enjoy up to 10 years of income tax reduction. The government actively supports production capacity cooperation models such as joint ventures for building factories and transplanting production lines, providing supporting support such as land leasing discounts and energy price subsidies for enterprises, helping overseas enterprises quickly achieve localized operations, and perfectly resolving the industry pain points of high logistics costs and long supply cycles in inland countries.

（3） The cooperation mechanism between China and Ukraine provides strong support and protection
As Uzbekistan's largest trading partner, the economic and trade cooperation between China and Uzbekistan has continued to deepen under the "the Belt and Road" initiative. The bilateral trade volume in 2023 has reached 9 billion US dollars. In the first half of 2025, China's export of building materials to Uzbekistan has increased by 34% year on year. Ceramic tiles, glass and steel structural components are the main export categories. The two countries have formed mature cooperation models in production capacity cooperation, technology output, and project co construction, providing a stable policy environment and broad cooperation space for Chinese building materials enterprises to go global.

Exhibition hardcore strength: creating an efficient docking core platform
（1） Global resource aggregation, precise docking with high-quality buyers
As the largest and highest specification building materials professional exhibition in Central Asia, this year's BIG5 exhibition relies on DMG EVENT's global resources to attract more than 500 companies from over 20 countries to participate, with an expected attendance of over 350000 professional visitors. The audience covers core groups such as government purchasers, construction contractors, energy project developers, and trade agents from Uzbekistan and five Central Asian countries, as well as Russia. Among them, 15% are government departments and project leaders, and 20% are decision-makers in the construction and real estate industry, enabling full process integration from product display to order signing.

The exhibition has specially set up a "buyer pre matching" service to collect the needs of both buyers and sellers in advance, organize special matchmaking meetings during the exhibition period, and help Chinese enterprises accurately target customers. Previous exhibition data shows that participating companies have connected with an average of more than 30 effective buyers, with an intention to sign contracts rate of up to 40%, becoming the shortest path for companies to quickly open up the Central Asian market.
（2） Five core exhibition areas covering the needs of the entire industry chain
The exhibition area planning closely conforms to the market demand and builds a display platform covering the entire building materials industry chain:
Exhibition Area for Building Materials and Decorative Materials: Focusing on low-carbon and energy-saving walls, waterproof and anti-corrosion materials, ceramic sanitary ware, high-end glass products, etc., to meet the dual needs of residential decoration and infrastructure projects;
