8.9%

is the share of innovative products in total sales made by industrial enterprises.

This is the largest figure for the entire period that innovative activity in the Russian economy has been observed since the mid-1990s.

In high-tech sectors, such as those that manufacture air- and spacecraft, medical equipment, pharmaceutical products, and communications equipment, the share of innovative products in total sales is almost twice as high as the market average, reaching 16.9%.

These data are presented in a new HSE Data Book – ‘Indicators of Innovation: 2015’ – which will be published in early 2015.
