The analysis of industrial production structure dynamics in Russia

Abstract

The article is devoted to research of sectorial and regional features of industry development in Russia, structure of industrial production, size and quality of economic growth. Comparative analysis of the dynamics of certain types of industrial production in Russia showed that the crisis of 2008–2009 has produced a significant impact on the production volumes, particularly in the areas of machinery and equipment as well as transport equipment. Based on analysis of official statistics the comparative analysis of industrial production volumes in leading regions is presented. It is shown that the structure of the manufacturing industry is dominated by activities not related to the production of machinery and equipment. The coefficients of growth of the shipped goods manufacturing industry are presented. It is shown that these coefficients significantly differ relating to the type of economic activity. A significant growth of regional differentiation in industrial production is revealed. It is shown that the growth rate of industrial production is not constant and different in different regions. The article offers to consider regional preferences determined by their climatic features and comparative advantages, as well as new realities determined by new challenges and threats.
