Abstract
The article examines the territorial pattern of the ongoing transformation of the manufacturing industry in Uzbekistan. The diversification, localization, concentration, and specialization of manufacturing industries are analyzed, allowing for the assessment of territorial differences in production structure and the competitive advantages of regions. The assessment methods used, including the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI) and RCA (Revealed Comparative Advantage), allow for a deep characterization of production in 14 regions of the country. The results of the study show that regions with high diversification have more opportunities for economic sustainability, while low degrees of diversification or high concentration of production in certain industries create risks of dependence on a limited number of sectors.
