THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY AS THE BASIS FOR THE DIGITALIZATION OF THE ECONOMY
Purpose: to substantiate the need for the development of the semiconductor (laser, microelectronic) industry, as one of the priority areas for the formation of the digital economy. Discussion: at present, the formation of the digital economy is a factor in the country's leadership and competitiveness on the world stage. It is generally accepted that digitalization refers to the development of software, the development of the banking and insurance sectors, the formation of a service state with proactive provision of services. However, companies that give digital technologies a physical form and impetus for development in the field of high technologies also play an important role in the development of the digital economy. Therefore, in order to achieve digital maturity, it is also necessary to attach importance to the development of the semiconductor industry. Results: the article analyzes the world market of semiconductor components, considers a certain nomenclature list of manufactured products in this industry. The features of the domestic semiconductor industry are revealed, and benchmarking with world trends is carried out. Conclusions are drawn regarding the state of the domestic semiconductor industry.
