Development of a textile cluster in the Republic of Kazakhstan: assessment of its state and basic trends

The textile industry is a priority sector of the economy in the Republic of Kazakhstan due to its socio-economic importance. Cluster is recognized as an optimal model and prerequisite for the successful development of this industry all over the world. In 2005, in order to increase a competitiveness and economic importance of the textile and light industries in Kazakhstan there was formed a cotton-textile cluster. The article is devoted to the study of the development of the textile cluster in Kazakhstan. The author analyzes the functioning of this cluster according to four criteria: “cluster width”, “cluster depth”, “context of cluster creation” and “cluster maturity”. The insufficient effectiveness of the cluster functioning that is primarily associated with a limited vertical and horizontal range of industries and enterprises involved in its activity is substantiated. There are identified and analyzed the main problems that impede its development: general economic, organizational, personnel and market ones. The main issues hindering the effective development of the cluster are the problems of inter- and intrasectoral interaction of its elements, poor integration of the cluster enterprises, and the lack of a single technological chain within the cluster. These problems do not allow to take an advantage of the cluster approach. The author substantiated a necessity of a new organizational and economic approach to managing this cluster in order to activate it on the basis of increasing an interest of its participants and creating a single technological chain within the textile cluster.
