PECULIARITIES OF INDUSTRIAL REGIONS DEVELOPMENT IN UKRAINE

Analysis of the industrial regions' development in Ukraine is presented in this article. Their share in the volume of industrial production in 2013 was about 80%. Despite the fact that the volume of industrial products are growing in terms of money, but in their natural gauges it falls in each industrial region. The processing industry has the largest share in the industrial structure of investigated regions. Productions of third and fourth technological orders predominate in those industrial enterprises. Their share is about 95%. Mostly, fixed assets are worn. Corruption, political instability and mismanagement led to an increase in the number of unprofitable industrial enterprises in Ukraine. In addition, as a result of military operations that started in the spring of 2014, the industry of Donetsk economic region is practically destroyed. To develop the industrial regions of Ukraine it is necessary: 1) finishing of hostilities; implementation of resource-, energy- and eco- saving technologies, as well as non-waste and low-waste productions; 2) gradual transition from an export-oriented mining industry to industry of the final products; 3) creation of scientific and technological innovative centers.
