Import substitution and development of domestic manufacturers in industry
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
This article analyzes the key directions and effectiveness of the import substitution policy in the structure of the Russian industry at the current stage of its implementation. The study covers the achievements of national manufacturers in strategically important sectors of the economy, including the machine-building complex, the machine tool industry, the information technology sector, pharmaceutical production, the electronic industry and light industry enterprises. The work presents up-to-date statistical information for 2024-2025, characterizing the dynamics of industrial output and the degree of substitution of imported products in various areas of economic activity. The article identifies fundamental problems and barriers that hinder the effective development of import substitution processes, as well as outlines the prospects for further strengthening the technological sovereignty of the Russian Federation

Keywords:
