This study analyzes the current state and structural composition of the service sector in Tashkent
City, focusing on its role as the largest and most dynamic service hub in Uzbekistan. The research examines
sectoral distribution, spatial disparities across districts, and key drivers of service sector development, including
trade, transport, financial services, and information and communication technologies. The findings reveal that
trade services (31.8%) and other business-related services (30.9%) dominate the structure of the service
economy, while transport, financial, and digital services also play a significant role in urban economic activity.
At the same time, notable disparities exist among districts in terms of per capita service output and sectoral
specialization, reflecting differences in infrastructure development and economic concentration.
The study also highlights the growing importance of digital transformation, innovation, and knowledgebased
services in shaping the future development of the service sector. Despite the high share of leading
sectors, areas such as healthcare, cultural services, and administrative support remain comparatively less
developed, indicating potential for further diversification and investment. Overall, the results confirm that
Tashkent City serves as a key factor of Uzbekistan’s service economy, and sustainable growth will depend on
continued investment in infrastructure, digitalization, and balanced regional development policies.
