Resume

The industry is an important sector of the economy that has the potential to significantly increase the GDP as it contains links with high value-added production, the growth of which provides solutions to a number of socio-economic issues. In particular, industry accounts for 24.1% of the employed population and 25.1% of Poland's gross value added. In addition, the industry is the center of the intersectoral relations of the country's economy. Thus, the importance of industry in the Polish economy highlights the need to assess the effectiveness of its operation. The purpose of the study was to conduct an economic evaluation of the industry efficiency in Poland and its regions according to the author's method. The study provides grounds for confirming the hypothesis of the existence of regional restructuring of Polish industry in the direction of potentially new industrial centers specialized in industrial production with higher innovation and economic and social efficiency. An economic evaluation of the efficiency of the industry in the regions of Poland is carried out according to the author's method. Its feature is a combination of indicators of the current (actual) state and dynamics. To comprehensively assess the efficiency of the industry in the regions, 24 stimulating indicators were selected, grouped into four groups, and summarized by an integrated indicator. In accordance with the data of the calculated generalized integrated indicator and using the method of k-means, all regions are divided into 3 groups: high, medium, and low efficiency. A comprehensive assessment of industrial activity at the meso level allowed us to distinguish two regional types of industry: old-industrial and potentially new-industrial regions. The first type, for the most part, was characterized by high values of the actual situation but low values for the dynamics. The second type of industry was characterized by opposite features: a relatively low share in the country's industry, low actual values of key indicators, but high positive dynamics of key indicators of economic activity of the industry – product innovation and productivity.
