Analysis of trends and perspective parameters of the assessment of import substitution processes of industrial enterprises

In the context of reduced imports of foreign-made products and restrictive sanctions, the Russian economy has been forced to pursue an active import substitution policy for ten years. The article considers the principles of analytical research of the best practices and techniques of import substitution, which increase the competitiveness of industrial enterprises. Modern economic trends, characterized by rapidly changing conditions of the organization of the production process in a particular branch of the industrial sphere, are directly related to the introduction of new technologies, the development of equipment and components capable of replacing similar imported goods. Therefore, the problem associated with overcoming the crisis of replacing imported goods, services, components for high-tech equipment and software remains. The assessment of the formation of conditions for Russian manufacturers and companies whose activities are directly or indirectly related to the development of the country's industrial cluster is given. Since the share of imported products, on which the well-being and stability of many industries depend, is still quite high despite the import substitution strategy in the Russian Federation until 2030, this dependence is decreasing at a low, albeit steady pace. In this regard, the industries that require increased attention in this matter are analyzed – reducing import dependence in production, which is possible only in conditions of increasing output of import-substituting products that can meet the needs of a particular industrial sector. This applies primarily to industrial production, the work of which requires the use of high-tech equipment, manufacturing industries, as well as the IT sector. However, key industries will be able to develop further only if they increase the volume of high-quality domestic products instead of imported ones. But Russian manufacturers who are ready to enter the market with such products are not always competitive enough, which in the future often creates difficulties for entering the leading positions in the production of import substitution products and, importantly, their retention. This is a reason to reduce production or release products in limited quantities. Therefore, the article contains provisions on the expediency of organizing import-substituting production in accordance with the needs of industrial enterprises in various fields of activity in import-substituting products. Such analytical aspects will make it possible to quickly and effectively identify the structural elements of production that require the launch of the import substitution process in the first place, if the process is economically justified and its launch is expedient in accordance with the strategy of sustainable development of the enterprise.
