Azerbaijan Increases Cotton Fabric Production by Almost 3%
Azerbaijan boosted cotton fabric output by nearly 3% year‑on‑year in early 2026, reinforcing its textile industry amid ongoing economic diversification away from hydrocarbons.
New data released on March 22, 2026 show that Azerbaijan increased its cotton fabric production by close to 3% compared to the same period in the previous year. The rise reflects continued efforts to strengthen the non‑oil industrial sector and support domestic manufacturing and export capacity. Boosted textile output complements broader government initiatives to diversify the economy, create employment in rural and industrial regions, and reduce reliance on oil and gas revenues. The performance is expected to underpin industrial growth in 2026 and contribute to Azerbaijan’s trade and value‑added goals in the Eurasian and regional markets.
