Abstract
The article analyzes the main indicators of innovation activity of industrial enterprises of Ukraine for 2014–2019. It is established that the share of expenditures on own research and development is consistently low, without showing a clear downward trend. It is shown that foreign trade in light industry goods in Ukraine is not balanced, as imports predominate over exports, which leads to an outflow of funds that can be spent on innovative development of the industry, creation of new high-tech jobs and training of highly qualified personnel. The annual deterioration of innovation indicators of light industry enterprises was revealed, which was caused by a low share of innovation-active enterprises in their total number, as well as a small share of innovative products in the total volume of light industry products. The number of innovatively active industrial enterprises by areas of innovation in 2014–2019 in terms of economic activities is analyzed. It is established that the highest indicator of expenditures on internal scientific developments in general in the industry of Ukraine, in processing and light industry was observed in 2016, the lowest – in 2019. Expenditures on external research in the industry as a whole ranged from 30.3 to 56.6% in relation to the expenditures on internal developments during the study period. The indicator for the processing industry is slightly lower (from 29.1 to 45.3%) and very low for the light industry (from 14.3 to 36.4%). It should be noted that in 2015, 2017 and 2019, external R&D was not carried out). The analysis of expenditures on innovations of industrial enterprises by areas of innovation in 2014–2019 showed that for all articles in light industry they are insignificant, and in some years either there is no data on them at all, or the data are not published. Factors that negatively affect the ability of light industry enterprises and garment enterprises in particular to carry out innovative activities (low innovative potential of industrial enterprises; lack of information on new technologies, lack of information on markets and lack of opportunities for cooperation with other enterprises and organizations). Some ways of development of innovative business for Ukrainian garment enterprises are indicated.
