Subject. The technological security of Russian industry has become one of the key tasks of economic policy under the conditions of external restrictions and the need for the technological renewal of production. Official statistical indicators are used to assess it; however, their practical application is associated with a number of methodological limitations that make it difficult to obtain a comprehensive assessment of the state of technological security of the industry, which determines the relevance of the study.
Purpose. To develop a methodological approach to the statistical assessment of the state of technological security of Russian industry and to conduct a comprehensive analysis of its key parameters by types of industrial activity.
Methodology. To achieve this goal, we used methods of statistical analysis of time series, structure assessment, comparative analysis, the grouping method, and rank correlation. Official statistical data on types of industrial activity formed the empirical basis of the study.
Results. We identified the main limitations of the current system of indicators for assessing the technological security of the industry. We proposed a system of 28 indicators, grouped into six thematic sections, which was used to analyze the technological state of Russian industry. We established an increase in the unevenness of technological development across sectors and identified groups of sectors showing signs of active modernization and technological lag.
Conclusions. The research results can be used to monitor the technological security of the industry, develop industrial policy measures, and substantiate the priorities of technological development.
