In 2020, there is the lowest share of new types of innovative products (goods, services) introduced to the market in their total number. The highest level of expenditures on innovation is observed in 2016 and amounts to UAH 23,229.5 million, in 2017 there is a significant decline to the level of UAH 9,117.5 million. In 2018-2020, there is a moderate increase in spending on innovation, but their level is much lower than in 2016. In the structure of innovation costs of industrial enterprises of Ukraine, GDR occupies in 2016 - 10.6%, in 2017 - 23.8%, in 2018 - 26.3%, in 2019 - 20.5%, and in 2020 - 24.2% (preliminary data), which reflects their insignificant level.
