Components of the potential for technological independence of enterprises in the pharmaceutical industry

Abstract

The article examines various aspects and approaches to determine and assess the potential of technological independence and import substitution at the level of pharmaceutical industry enterprises, based on the work of domestic and foreign researchers. Present an overview of existing methodologies for the assessment of indicators at regional and sectoral levels, including integrated indices, analytical models and economic parameters. Special attention is paid to the development strategy of the pharmaceutical industry in Russia until 2030 (“Pharma-2030”). Public policy priorities aimed at achieving technological independence, including the development of production capacities, support for innovation and strengthening of product quality control have been defined. The practical importance of the work is to develop and propose a structure for the potential technological independence of pharmaceutical industry enterprises, which can be used to assess the current state and identify the development reserves of domestic producers. The presented structure includes key components - research and innovation competencies, level of localization of production, management efficiency, financial indicators, degree of dependence on imports and compliance with international standards (GMP), which allows to apply it in practice for forming strategies for the development of enterprises and industry in general. In addition, the analysis of existing methodologies and approaches for the assessment of technological independence and import substitution contributes to the selection of the most effective instruments for government regulation and support of the pharmaceutical industry. The work is also important for the implementation of the “Pharma-2030” strategy, as it allows targeted development of production capacity, stimulating innovate on and increasing the competitiveness of domestic medicines in both domestic and foreign markets. Thus, the results of the study can be used by public authorities in developing support measures for the industry, as well as by business leaders in shaping strategies for sustainable development and ensuring technological security under sanctions pressure and restrictions on the international scene.
