Abstract
This article examines the opportunities for developing construction materials production in the Kashkadarya region through the efficient use of local mineral raw materials and explores mechanisms for improving sectoral efficiency. The study analyzes key factors of regional industrial development using the value chain concept. Special attention is given to global and national trends, particularly the implementation of innovative and green technologies that enhance resource efficiency and economic performance. Based on statistical data, the industrial potential of the region is assessed and structural regional disparities are identified. As a result, practical recommendations are proposed to increase value added, deepen production chains, and strengthen the competitiveness of the construction materials sector. The findings have significant scientific and practical relevance for sustainable regional economic development.
