Industrial and technological development of the Ural-Volga region in 2018-2022
Abstract
This study highlights the significance of the Ural-Volga region in the industrial development of Russia. The Ural-Volga is defined as a combination of the Volga-Ural and Volga-Kama macro-regions. Various approaches to assessing the level of industrialization of the constituent regions of the Russian Federation are presented, including methods based on technological structures. The importance of innovation for the advancement of high-tech industries is emphasized. The sectoral composition of the manufacturing industry is segmented by the level of technology development, low-, medium- and high-tech industries are distinguished. The proportion of each category is analyzed over a five-year period (2018-2022). This analysis is complemented by an assessment of the use of advanced manufacturing technologies in the manufacturing industry in the regions under consideration. It also includes an analysis of regional differences in the use of these technologies based on specific indicators, such as the number of technologies used per number of enterprises and per billion manufactured products. The impact of innovative development on industrial production in macroregions is also discussed. The study reveals differences in the manufacturing industry between two macro-regions in the Ural-Volga area, both in absolute terms and in terms of their transformation over a given period.
