Manufacturing industry in Russia

To date, the Russian Federation is an extremely developed country in which various types of industries, both extractive and manufacturing industries, have reached a high level.

Rating of Russia in the world share of manufacturing production

Despite the fact that over the past twenty years, insufficient attention was paid to domestic production, and it focused on the importation of cheap foreign goods, the manufacturing industry has recently begun to gain momentum. Although the Russian share of value added per person in this industry is significantly inferior to countries such as the US, Mexico, and Turkey, and it is on the ninth place in the world ranking, this figure is much higher than in Thailand, China, Brazil.

So, since 2007, the manufacturing industry in Russia has gradually begun to increase the number of products in defense structures, as well as in machine and shipbuilding. In 2007, its share in the Russian total production was 66%. And in 2009, the level of military equipment and equipment production in the Russian military-industrial complex rose by 10%. And production in shipbuilding grew in 2009 by 62%. For ten years, since 2001, dozens of joint automobile enterprises have started functioning on the territory of the fatherland, designed to create brand models of BMW, Toyota, Opel, Ford, etc.

Over the period from 2001 to 2010, the total sales of defense products abroad increased tenfold. Today, Russia is the owner of multimillion-dollar contracts making it a supplier of defense goods and various types of weapons to countries such as Venezuela, Vietnam, India, China, Greece, Algeria, Kuwait, Brazil, Iran, Syria, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia and Peru. At the moment, Russia supplies 23% of all types of weapons from the number of world supplies, which puts it in second place after the United States (32%).

Characteristic in figures

The manufacturing industry in the Russian Federation in gross value added was provided in 2009 with 5.1 trillion rubles. And in terms of output, the figure rose to 13.6 trillion rubles in the same period.

Owners of manufacturing and processing enterprises began to pay serious attention to investing in the fixed assets of their own companies. Thanks to this, already in 2008, the manufacturing industry received a total investment share of 1.37 trillion rubles.

And, as a result of the increase in the volume of production in the processing industries, the figure that characterizes the average annual employment of workers in these industries has risen. So, in 2008 this figure was equal to 11.2 million people.

In connection with the increase in the overall profitability of the Russian processing industries, there is also a tendency to increase not only the number of jobs, but also the average wage per employee in this area. Already in 2010, the amount of accrued average monthly remuneration was 18.297 rubles.

As a result, already in 2010, the Russian manufacturing industry, according to high growth rates, was the second after Japan. It's no secret that Japanese electronics and computers, which are part of the electronic and electrical engineering industry, occupy the leading positions in the world and are in high demand among the population. But even Russians, not stopping at what they have achieved, have been constantly increasing the volume of computer and digital technologies introduced in recent years.

Russian microelectronics grew by 25% in 2008, in 2009 the increase in rates was 15%, which significantly exceeded the growth of other processing industries.

As a result, according to 2010, the Deputy Minister of the Russian Federation for Trade and Industry Mr. Borisov said that the technological gap in Russia in this area was reduced from Western producers to five years.
