Abstract:
Based on summarizing international expert forecasts, the main trends in digitalization by technology sectors for 2019-2020 are identified. Among them there are the industrial Internet of things, immersive technologies, artificial intelligence, blockchain, etc. It is proved that digitalization of the economy in Ukraine is not due to existing relevant strategies and programs, like in most foreign countries, but despite of their absence. The features of the digitalization process in Ukraine are analyzed with an emphasis on the technological segments of Industry 4.0. There made conclusions about Ukraine’s increasing lag behind other countries of the world in terms of the progress in digitalization of the economy due to the lack of relevant government policies and weakness of the domestic market for industrial innovative developments. Recommendations for governmental and non-governmental structures regarding the acceleration of the pace of digital adoption in Ukraine are developed.

Keywords: digital technologies, Industry 4.0, development, trends, strategy, national economy.
