Gulbaniz T. Aliyeva: The issues related to formation of competitive structure of industry in Azerbaijan
As we can see from table 2, in 1990 the portion of mining in total industrial
product in Azerbaijan was equal to 10.1%, refinery accounted for 85.3%, Water supply
accounted for 4.1% and collection and refinery garbage accounted for 0.5%. However
due to development of mining during the recent years, its portion in 2000 increased to
53.4%, in 2005 to 67.4%, in 2010 78.8% and in 2012 to 75.4%. However the refinery
sector’s portion decreased from 85.3% to 14.3%, considering the households this
amount is equal to 18.9% (Azerbaijani statistics, 2012, p. 451-452. 2013.p.70-71).
Formation of competitive environment for non-oil sector
During the recent years the Azerbaijani industry is experiencing two trends
affecting each other by multiplicative effect:
The first trend: Prevailing growth temp of the mining industry and growth temp
of the other oil-industry begin to influence to structure of the industry in general. Oil
production increased by 10.3 percentages and has come down by 2.3 percentages in
2012, non-oil industry increased by 7.1 percentages in 2011 and 7.8 percentages in
2012. If the portion of the mining industry increased from 78.9% in 2010 to 80.5%
on 2011, the refinery sector decreased from 15.9% in 2010 to 14.3% in 2011.
The second trend: the structural changes are observed in non-oil sector as
well. At the beginning some imported products started to be produced in
Azerbaijan. For example, vegetable oil, tobacco, dairy products, juices and other
products, quality of which goes with imported ones.
