Economic factors of digitalization of logistics processes in international trade

The article examines the economic factors of digitalization of logistics processes in the structure of international trade and their impact on the transformation of global supply chains. The relevance of the topic is due to the rapid development of the digital economy, which changes traditional approaches to the organization of international trade operations and increases the role of technological solutions in ensuring the efficiency of logistics systems. The purpose of the study is to generalize and systematize the key economic determinants of the digital transformation of logistics in the conditions of a globalized market. The paper examines the impact of investment, institutional, technological and infrastructure factors on the development of digital logistics processes. Particular attention is paid to the role of information and communication technologies, platform solutions, automation and big data analysis in increasing the efficiency of international trade. It is summarized that the digitalization of logistics provides a reduction in transaction costs, optimization of delivery times, increased transparency of supply chains and a reduction in the level of uncertainty in international operations. It was also considered that the economic factors of digital transformation include the level of development of digital infrastructure, access to innovative technologies, investment capacity of enterprises and the quality of the institutional environment. As a result of the study, it was found that the digitalization of logistics processes is a key driver of increasing the competitiveness of international market participants. It contributes to the integration of national economies into global production and logistics systems and forms new models of trade flow management based on data and digital platforms. The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of their use for the formation of strategies for the digital development of logistics systems, increasing the efficiency of foreign economic activity of enterprises and improving mechanisms for managing international trade in the context of digital transformation.
