The Economic Case for Exporting
Russia, Belarus, and Central Asia represent 235 million consumers — and construction markets that continue to grow even under challenging conditions. In the first half of 2025, the volume of construction work in Russia grew 4.3% year-on-year, reaching 86 trillion rubles. Between 2020 and 2024, the Russian construction market expanded by 73% — from 10 to 17 trillion rubles.
Central Asia is growing even faster. Uzbekistan posted GDP growth of 7.7% in 2025, and foreign direct investment into the country doubled between 2024 and 2025 — from $11 billion to $22.6 billion. Kazakhstan grew its construction output by 12.8% in the first two months of 2025 alone.
