It is noted that in recent decades the share of knowledge-intensive and high-tech products in industrial production in most developed countries is gradually increasing. At the same time, the share of high technology in exports and imports of products is rapidly growing which is associated, on the one hand, with the demand for high-tech products in developing countries, and on the other – with a steady trend for specialization and segmentation of these products in the world market. The above tends to have important implications for Ukraine to encourage further research in the area of trade cooperation.
