Assessment of Structural Transformations of Regional Industrial Complexes

Constant changes in the economic system make it necessary to conduct a comparative analysis of structural changes in industry. Therefore, it appears particularly relevant to examine the industrial structure of individual regions and the Russian Federation as a whole and to determine directions for improving the development of the industrial sector in order to form competitive industries that would meet the requirements of the technological revolution and Industry 4.0.

Aim. The presented study aims to assess the structurally balanced development of the industrial complex in the federal districts of the Russian Federation by analyzing the significance of structural differences.

Tasks. The authors examine methods for assessing the state and dynamics of structural transformations in industry; investigate the current state, dynamics, and industry proportions of the industrial complex in the context of the federal districts of the Russian Federation; develop directions for improving the structure of the industrial complex.

Methods. This study uses the methods of comparative and statistical analysis to structure indicators for assessing the development of the industrial complex and indices of structural shifts, which include indicators for evaluating structural transformations, in particular the Ryabtsev index.

Results. The authors comprehensively analyze the current state and dynamics of the industry proportions of the industrial complex in the context of the federal districts of the Russian Federation. Based on the results of this analysis, they propose directions and recommendations for sustainable, structurally balanced development of the industrial sector.

Conclusions. The practical significance of the study consists in the development of major directions for the transformation of the regional industrial complex, stimulating the implementation of advanced industrial technologies, formation and development of new markets for innovative products. This will make it possible to achieve balanced economic development.
