Based on data from the Committee on Statistics, the actual volume index (AVI) of the manufacturing industry shows steady growth over the past 5 years, including 5% the last year.
The growth occurred in the chemical, light, construction materials, furniture and woodworking industries.
An important indicator that points the future production growth is an increase in investments in fixed assets. Having 825 billion tenge in 2015, in 2017 it increased to 981 billion tenge.
The number of enterprises in the sector increases every year. However, it is worth noting the tendency of medium-sized and large enterprises to disaggregate by 30-35% on average, which clearly influenced the growth of the number of small businesses. The volume of export of manufacturing industry in connection with the intensification of foreign trade grew by 22% and amounted to 14 billion dollars in 2017, compared with 2016.

The head of the National Chamber stressed the necessity for a detailed analysis of the current situation in the manufacturing industries, including the actual situation at the main industry enterprises, which should result in the formation of more effective approaches to industrial policy.
"It is necessary to develop an algorithm for an active industrial policy" - Timur Kulibayev said.

In general, according to Timur Kulibayev, it is necessary to approach development issues more carefully, using the latest research in the sectors, to expand product export through the use of new technologies and marketing.
