In the context of accelerating global digitization, electronic commerce (e-commerce) has emerged as a transformative engine for economic growth, social progress, and international integration, particularly in emerging economies like Uzbekistan. This study investigates the institutional environment underpinning e-commerce development in Uzbekistan, a nation strategically leveraging digital transformation to enhance its global economic presence. Despite notable progress in legislative reforms, digital infrastructure, and state-led initiatives supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the scalability and resilience of Uzbekistans e-commerce sector remain constrained by institutional gaps, including regulatory inconsistencies, infrastructural disparities, and limited digital literacy. Employing a mixed-method approach, integrating systemic analysis, statistical modeling, expert evaluations, and comparative benchmarking with global best practices—this research delineates the critical institutional mechanisms required to catalyze e-commerce growth. Findings reveal that a robust institutional framework, encompassing adaptive legislation, reliable infrastructure, and stakeholder trust, is indispensable for enhancing economic efficiency, competitiveness, and inclusivity. Uzbekistans experience offers a valuable case study for transitional economies, highlighting the interplay between policy innovation, market readiness, and societal adaptation. The study contributes actionable insights for policymakers and enriches the scholarly discourse on digital economy institutionalization.

The study concludes that Uzbekistans e-commerce sector demonstrates sustained growth driven by increasing internet penetration and digital literacy, yet remains constrained by institutional deficiencies.Addressing regulatory inconsistencies, infrastructural gaps, and human capital limitations is crucial for unlocking the sectors full potential.A holistic approach integrating policy, infrastructure, and societal readiness is essential to harness the economic and social benefits of digital commerce, positioning Uzbekistan as a regional leader in the global e-commerce ecosystem.

Further research should investigate the specific impacts of legislative reforms on e-commerce growth in Uzbekistan, utilizing quantitative methods to assess the effectiveness of policies aimed at fostering digital trade. Additionally, a comparative study examining the role of public-private partnerships in developing digital infrastructure could provide valuable insights for enhancing connectivity and logistical capabilities. Finally, exploring the potential of emerging technologies, such as blockchain and artificial intelligence, to address challenges related to trust, security, and efficiency within Uzbekistans e-commerce landscape would contribute to a more robust and innovative digital economy. These investigations should consider the unique socio-economic context of Uzbekistan, building upon existing research and aligning with national development goals to ensure practical relevance and sustainable impact. The combined insights from these studies will be instrumental in shaping evidence-based policies and strategies that accelerate the growth of e-commerce and promote inclusive digital transformation across the nation.
