Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the trade balance of industrial products of the Russian Federation, including the results of 2022. It is concluded that the reason for the lag is the lack of sufficient capacity in Russia for processing base polymers. Almost a quarter of Russian raw materials are exported, in the future, plastic products and plastics in primary forms are purchased abroad at a more expensive price. In the field of other economically important positions for the country, although there is a dependence on foreign countries, nevertheless, the level of redistribution is much higher. Therefore, it is concluded that there is a positive trend in the development of the chemical complex, confirming the forecast made by the authors at the previous stages of the study of the dynamics of the development of the chemical industry of the Russian Federation about the successful implementation of the Program for the Development of the chemical industry until 2030.
