The adopted Strategy for the development of the paint industry-2030 aims to increase consumption by 24%, reduce the share of imports from today's 30.9 to 7%, and increase the consumption of paint in the Russian Federation (2030) to 13 kg/person (at the current European level-20 l/person. per year). However, the development of the world chemical industry showed that the chemical complex of Russia on key indicators of production and consumption of products significantly behind the world leaders: average energy intensity of a unit of chemical products in two to three times higher than in the United States, 20–50% higher water consumption, both technological and working capital, labor productivity is significantly lower in comparison with the leading countries of the world. It is revealed that the pace and direction of development of small industrial business in the context of industry specifics of paint and varnish production are determined primarily: the presence in industry of available mineral resources, secondary raw materials and waste; the availability of space and equipment; a system of reproduction of qualified personnel taking into account the sectoral specializations; transport security industry; the level of development of innovative processes in industry; identified regional and sectoral specificity of functioning of small innovative business; it is proved that in conditions of digitalization of the economy in the industry introduced electronic voice assistants, virtual-reality programs and so on.
