Historically, the town was famous for its industrious merchants who traveled to other bigger commercial centers and brought various goods to the local market. They seem to uphold that reputation to this day. Local businessmen travel to China, Russia, the Baltic states, Turkey and Iran to buy goods wholesale and bring those goods to Gʻijduvon. These days shoppers from outlying areas come to Gʻijduvon for any type of shopping including groceries, various type of supplies, home appliances and electronics, car parts, clothing, etc. Gʻijduvon has a whole-sale market where merchants from surrounding areas buy their supplies and sell in their shops in rural areas. The town operates a livestock market too where farmers can buy and sell their livestock.
