Vectors of industrial development in the regions of Ukraine in conditions of full-scale war

Анотація

The full-scale Russian aggression caused enormous damage to the industrial potential of Ukraine, as the fighting covered mostly those regions where it was most developed. But even despite the huge losses incurred (over 150 billion USD), industry remains the basic sector of the national economy, in which the greatest amount of added value is formed. The purpose of the article is to diagnose the current state, key trends and prospects for the development of Ukrainian industry in a regional context. The author of the article analyzed the dynamics of the development of Ukrainian industry in wartime conditions in terms of the volume of sold products compared to 2021. It was found that the restoration of the industrial sector of the national economy is taking place by increasing the production of defense products, in particular, the accelerated development of the mechanical engineering segment, primarily the production of other vehicles, as well as light industry. An assessment of the losses of production capacities of Ukrainian metallurgy in a regional context compared to the pre-war period was carried out. Changes in the export potential of processing industry were diagnosed. The growth of innovative activity of industrial enterprises, which exceeded the level of 2021, was emphasized. The vectors of spatial transformation of Ukrainian industry were determined based on the results of calculation of the share of regions in the structure of sold industrial products and the share of processing in the added value of the economy of the latter. The relationship between the dynamics of sold products and the dynamics of employment in the processing industry of the regions of Ukraine was verified. The level of labor productivity in industry was calculated by processing industries and regions based on the ratio between the volume of output and the number of employees in full-time equivalent for business entities. A tendency towards a gradual leveling of the concentration of industrial potential with its movement to the central and western regions was identified, which is to some extent caused by the relocation of enterprises from front-line regions, but is mainly a consequence of the shift of business activity poles to safer regions in general.
