Efficiency of Using Digital Technologies in Light Industry Enterprises in Uzbekistan
Keywords:
light industry, Uzbekistan, digital technologies, textiles, economic efficiencyAbstract
The adoption of digital technologies in Uzbekistan’s light industry has become a key driver of industrial modernization, improving efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness. This study evaluates the effectiveness of digital solutions such as automation, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and cloud computing in textile and garment manufacturing. Using a systematic analysis approach, we examine their impact on productivity, cost reduction, supply chain optimization, and product quality.
Findings indicate that digitalization has increased labor productivity by 70–80% and reduced ICT expenditures by 55%, with cloud technologies significantly lowering operational costs. However, challenges such as high initial investment, cybersecurity risks, and a shortage of skilled professionals hinder widespread adoption. The research reviews international digital maturity models, including those developed by Deloitte, KPMG, PwC, and the German National Academy of Sciences and Technology, to benchmark Uzbekistan’s progress.
To enhance digital transformation, the study recommends government incentives, workforce training programs, stronger cybersecurity measures, and scalable digital infrastructure. By embracing these strategies, Uzbekistan’s light industry can achieve higher efficiency, global market integration, and sustainable economic growth.
