Most Specialized Products by RCA Index

Uzbekistan has a high level of specialization in Non-Retail Pure Cotton Yarn (145), Silk Fabrics (76.2), Molybdenum (73.6), Wheat Flours (56), and Vehicle Bodies (including cabs) for the motor vehicles (8701 to 8705) (38.1). Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Uzbekistan observed and expected exports in each product.

Most Complex Products by PCI

The highest complexity exports of Uzbekistan according to the product complexity index (PCI) are Industrial or laboratory electric furnaces and ovens (including those functioning by induction... (0.96), Reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines (0.96), Wadding, gauze, bandages (dressings, adhesive plasters, poultices), impregnated or coated with pharmaceutical... (0.92), Molybdenum; articles thereof, including waste and scrap (0.86), and Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled products, width less than 600mm, clad, plated... (0.83).

Export Opportunities by Relatedness

The top export opportunities for Uzbekistan according to the relatedness index, were Raw Cotton (0.24), Other Ores (0.24), Tea (0.23), Legumes (0.23), and Tropical Fruits (0.23). Relatedness measures the distance between a country's current exports and each product. The barchart show only products that Uzbekistan is not specialized in.

The product space can be used to predict future exports, since countries are more likely to start exporting products that are related to current exports. Relatedness measures the distance between a product, and all of the products a country currently specializes in.

Relatedness Space

This network shows the products most related to the production structure of Uzbekistan. These are products that tend to be co-exported with the products that Uzbekistan exports. Higher relatedness values ​​indicate greater knowledge, which predicts a greater probability of exporting that product in the future.

The Complexity-Relatedness diagram compares the risk vs strategic value of a country's potential export oppotunities. Relatedness is predictive of the probability that a country increases its exports in a product. Complexity, is associated with higher levels of income, economic growth, less income inequality, and lower greenhouse emissions.
