Металлургия остается основным драйвером обрабатывающей промышленности Казахстана, занимая долю в 40,1%. Итоги первого полугодия и перспективы дальнейшего роста отрасли обсудили на заседании штаба по обеспечению экономического роста под председательством вице-премьера – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина.Сохранять высокие темпы роста в металлургии является непростой задачей: в 2024 г. отрасль достигла рекордного за последние 10 лет прироста – 6,9%. На сегодняшний день производственные мощности предприятий загружены на 90-100%, что ограничивает возможности дальнейшего увеличения объемов.Несмотря на высокую базу прошлого года, по итогам первого полугодия 2025-го в металлургической промышленности индекс физического объема вырос на 0,1%. Для повышения темпов роста отрасли разработана и реализуется специальная дорожная карта. По словам вице-министра промышленности и строительства Олжаса Сапарбекова, уже достигнут ряд промежуточных целей документа.В частности, завершены восстановительные работы на руднике «Жомарт», увеличены объемы поставок цинкового концентрата с Актюбинской медной компании на предприятия «Казцинк». Группа KAZ Minerals поставила крупные партии медного концентрата на отечественные заводы. Это позволит существенно увеличить объем его переработки внутри страны до конца года. Серик Жумангарин поручил отраслевому министерству совместно с акиматами регионов, где расположены ключевые металлургические предприятия, оперативно проработать проблемные вопросы с руководителями производств для обеспечения устойчивого экономического роста.https://primeminister.kz/ru/news/metallurgiya-obespechivaet-bolee-40-obema-obrabatyvayushchey-promyshlennosti-kazakhstana-30297 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1036874?lang=kk

По итогам первых шести месяцев 2025 года машиностроительная отрасль Казахстана продемонстрировала экономический рост, составивший 11,1%. Возможности дальнейшего ускорения темпов и раскрытия дополнительного потенциала сектора стали предметом детального обсуждения на заседании штаба по обеспечению экономического роста под председательством заместителя Премьер-министра – министра национальной экономики Серика Жумангарина.Машиностроение – один из ключевых секторов обрабатывающей промышленности, обеспечивающий почти 19% ее общего объема. Основные драйверы роста: производство автомобилей (+12,1%), железнодорожных и других транспортных средств (+7,1%), сельхозтехники (+1,3%), электротехники (+21,5%), компьютеров, электронного и оптического оборудования (рост в 1,7 раза), а также ремонт и установка машин и оборудования (+12%).Автопром: новые заводы и расширение модельного рядаАвтомобилестроение дает порядка 41% от объема машиностроения. Сегодня в стране работают два автозавода, выпускающих бренды JAC, Chevrolet, KIA, Lada, Jetour, Hongqi, Skoda, Hyundai и Genesis.В этом году в Казахстане будут введены в строй еще два новых предприятия – мультибрендовый завод в Алматы и завод KIA в Костанае. В Алматы планируется выпуск автомобилей таких брендов, как CHANGAN, Haval и CHERY.«Благодаря вводу в эксплуатацию новых мощностей в стране значительно увеличится объем производства автомобилей, собираемых по мелкоузловой технологии, что позволит расширить модельный ряд и укрепить позиции отечественного автопрома», — отметил вице-министр промышленности и строительства Олжас Сапарбеков.В 2025 году в Казахстане планируется произвести 147 824 автомобилей. Однако, как отметил вице-министр, у отрасли есть все предпосылки для превышения этого показателя.Дополнительный рост возможен при оптимизации процессов, связанных с выдачей сертификатов для отечественных товаропроизводителей.Вице-премьер Серик Жумангарин поручил Министерству торговли и интеграции принять меры для оперативной выдачи необходимой разрешительной документации, что позволит своевременно запустить серийное производство новых моделей и обеспечить загрузку мощностей.Железнодорожное машиностроение: курс на обновлениеЖелезнодорожный сектор занимает 13% в структуре машиностроения. В 2024 году в Казахстане произведено 125 локомотивов и свыше 2,7 тыс. вагонов на общую сумму 599,3 млрд тенге. Сегодня в этом сегменте работают пять производственных предприятий, расположенных в Астане, Петропавловске, Экибастузе и Атырау.С этого года начал работу завода «Stadler Kazakhstan» в Астане, запуск которого стал важным этапом в трансформации отрасли и расширении локализации.Для стимулирования обновления подвижного состава Министерство транспорта инициировало введение ограничений на эксплуатацию вагонов с продленным сроком службы. Соответствующий нормативный документ уже разработан и проходит процедуры согласования.Вице-премьер поручил Министерству национальной экономики ускорить решение процедурных вопросов, чтобы документ был принят в кратчайшие сроки.Электротехника и бытовая техника: развитие продолжаетсяОколо 9% общего объема машиностроения приходится на электротехническую продукцию. В 2024 году в Казахстане было произведено свыше 270 тыс. единиц бытовой техники. С этого года в стране стартует производство телевизоров и стиральных машин под брендом Samsung. Это значимый шаг в направлении импортозамещения, повышения локализации и расширения ассортимента продукции, выпускаемой на территории Казахстана. Сельхозтехника: 90% рынка обеспечивают отечественные производителиСельскохозяйственное машиностроение занимает около 6% в структуре отрасли. Сегодня в Казахстане самоходную сельхозтехнику производят 10 крупных предприятий. Благодаря действующей программе льготного лизинга отечественные производители обеспечивают до 90% потребностей внутреннего рынка по тракторам и комбайнам.В прошлом году в Казахстан зашли и сейчас усиливают свое присутствие финский SAMPO, китайский ZOOMLION и американский John Deere. По итогам первого полугодия в Казахстане произведено порядка 4 тыс. тракторов (+39,3%) и 441 зерноуборочный комбайн (+64,6%). Годовой план предусматривает выпуск более 10 тыс. единиц сельхозтехники, что на 27% выше показателей прошлого года.Вице-премьер Серик Жумангарин поручил обеспечить весь комплекс необходимых мер, направленных на сохранение устойчивых темпов роста машиностроения как одного из ключевых секторов обрабатывающей промышленности и важнейшего драйвера технологического развития страны.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/1035951?lang=kk
