Kazakhstan Produced Zero Household Refrigerators in 2024 Despite 2.5-Fold Growth in Appliance Output
Household appliance production in Kazakhstan grew 2.5-fold in 2024 to 7.2 billion tenge, yet the market remains almost entirely import-dependent: from January to November, not a single household refrigerator, freezer, or commercial washing machine was produced domestically. Refrigerator and freezer imports rose by 15%, and by January 2025, large household appliances had increased in price by 10% year-on-year.
