This thesis examines the development of the pharmaceutical industry in the context of global trends and the national specifics of Uzbekistan. The study analyzes key global transformations, including the growth of biopharmaceuticals, digitalization, increasing R&D intensity, regulatory harmonization, and the diversification of global supply chains. Within this framework, the research explores the structural features of Uzbekistan’s pharmaceutical sector, focusing on production capacity, import–export structure, state support measures, localization policies, and investment attraction. Particular attention is given to efforts aimed at reducing import dependence, modernizing manufacturing standards, and strengthening competitiveness.
