Analysis of the main trends, problems and prospects of the building materials industry of the Republic of Bashkortostan
The article actualizes the importance of the development of the construction materials industry in the Russian Federation from the point of view of the need to level the existing imbalances in the socio-economic development of the regions. The main trends, problems and prospects of development of the construction materials industry are analyzed on the materials of the Republic of Bashkortostan – one of the leading subjects of the Russian Federation. In the 1990–2000-ies of economic reform in the construction complex of the country were destroyed centralized management structures, deformed industry and spatial structure of the complex, violated the relationship between suppliers and consumers of building materials and structures, which led to the bankruptcy of most of the largest construction trusts, reducing the volume and pace of construction and installation work. In the Republic of Bashkortostan, the share of private construction companies has increased with a decrease in the share of state-owned enterprises and enterprises of mixed ownership. Due to the crisis situation of a number of Republican manufacturers of building materials, the volume of unfinished construction is growing, the needs of the region in construction materials and structures are not covered sufficiently. The results of the analysis of development of construction complex of the region and substantiates the need for structural and technological modernization of the industry of construction materials based on the structural transformation of the economy of the region, introduction of the latest scientific and technical achievements, advanced machinery and technological processes, effective structural changes and institutional reforms. Taking into account the advanced foreign and domestic experience (Moscow, Moscow region, St. Petersburg, Sverdlovsk, Voronezh, Kaluga, Lipetsk, Novosibirsk, Samara, Saratov regions and the Republic of Tatarstan), the priority directions and mechanisms of structural modernization of the construction materials industry of the Republic of Bashkortostan through the use of the cluster approach are scientifically justified.
