The analysis of the branch structure of the economy of Ukraine in the context of the main types of economic activity is conducted. Their current structure and trends are committed. It is determined that in the structure of the national economy as of 2019, trade continues to dominate, and the share of innovative production in various industries remains low. In particular, it is estimated that in total, such sectors of the economy as agriculture, processing industry, construction, transport and warehousing, temporary accommodation and catering accounted for only a third of the total gross value added.
