The role of the petroleum products supply market in a regional reproduction
Importance The article deals with the reproduction processes in the market of oil products supply of the Altai Krai. Objectives The article aims to justify the author's approach to determine a role and place of the oil products supply market in the regional reproduction. Methods The authors used techniques of synthesis and analysis. To achieve the goal, the authors studied the category of regional reproduction process in the theory of regional economy, argued market integration in the regional reproductive process, and examined the role of the petroleum products market of the Altai Krai in the development of other local markets and regional reproductive processes and formation of the reproduction ratio. Results The paper reflects the authors' theoretical understanding of the interdependence of the functions of the market and regional stages of reproduction. It shows that the oil products supply market is an important part of the market system in the region; its development affects certain reproductive proportions of the region. Conclusions and Relevance The authors conclude that the limiting factors of development of the local market for oil products are the large financial expenditures for the acquisition of land and the construction of new filling stations, as well as rising prices for oil products.
