According to the department, following the results of the first half of 2025, the share of the automotive industry in the structure of mechanical engineering reached 40.9 percent, and in the manufacturing industry – 7.28 percent.

There are currently eight automobile plants operating in the country, producing passenger cars, buses, trucks and special equipment. All cars produced in Kazakhstan comply with the technical regulations of the EAEU.
In 2025, further growth in production is expected due to the launch of a multi-brand plant of Chinese brands in Almaty with an annual capacity of up to 120 thousand cars and a KIA plant in Kostanay, designed to produce 70 thousand cars per year. According to the ministry, as of mid-2025, the industry employs about 7.6 thousand people, and with the opening of new enterprises, over 5 thousand more jobs will be created. –0–
