| Summary: | Light industry is one of the oldest sectors of the world economy, which has developed rapidly under the influence of industrial revolutions, the introduction of technological innovations, the development of trade, increased competition in consumer goods markets and other factors, which formed special areas of the industry with its centers. Global trends and features of the development of light industry are of interest for spatio-temporal analysis necessary for understanding the problems of domestic production. The relevance of the study is due to the need for a scientific analysis of the development of key sectors of the light industry in the context of modern geopolitical and macroeconomic realities in the context of constituent entities and federal districts. Having a relatively small share in the structure of manufacturing, light industry plays an important role in the country’s economy, provides all its spheres with various types of products, and the population with consumer goods. Russia’s modern light industry has complex technological chains, relies on a diverse raw material base, it is focused on the growth of consumer demand, which requires the modernization of production. Radical changes in the sectoral and spatial structure of light industry in the world, as well as import substitution requirements have had a great impact on the state of the industry in the regions of Russia. Geopolitical challenges have shown that it is necessary to make maximum use of the existing potential by creating new production facilities, introducing modern technologies, forming our own raw material bases, and training personnel for the sustainable development of the industry. The post-Soviet crisis slowed down the development of light industry for a long time, but at present it is being renovated and transformed into a creative industry. The retrospective analysis reveals positive dynamics in the development of key sectors of light industry, despite the aggravation of a number of problems. Changes in the sectoral and territorial structure of the industry were identified, a typology of the subjects of the Russian Federation was made up by the share of light industry in the economy of the regions. Measures are proposed to bring the industry to a qualitatively new level of development. |
