Logistics and supply chain efficiency are critical determinants of competitiveness in the global textile industry, influencing cost reduction, delivery speed, product quality, and market expansion. In Uzbekistan, the textile sector holds strategic economic significance due to its abundant raw materials, growing production capacity, and export potential. Despite recent government initiatives, there is limited research on aligning Uzbekistan’s logistics infrastructure with global best practices to improve integration into international supply chains. This study evaluates the current state of logistics and supply chains in Uzbekistan’s textile industry, compares it with developed textile-producing countries, and proposes strategies for modernization. The analysis identifies key challenges, including outdated transport systems, low warehouse automation, slow customs procedures, and insufficient integration with global logistics networks. Comparative insights show that leading countries like Turkey, China, and Bangladesh leverage multimodal transport, digitalized customs, AI-driven management, and agile production systems. The research offers targeted recommendations for Uzbekistan, such as modernizing transport fleets, implementing warehouse management systems, optimizing customs procedures, creating digital trade platforms, and fostering international cooperation. Adopting these measures will enable Uzbekistan to enhance delivery speed, reduce operational costs, expand export markets, and achieve sustainable competitiveness in the global textile value chain.
