Abstract
<jats:p>Industry is entering a new stage of technological development characterized by the integration of digital technologies into management and production processes. In this context, the study of information technologies, particularly blockchain, has become increasingly relevant. The purpose of this study is to examine the most significant trends in the application of blockchain technologies in industry. The objectives include analyzing the specific features of industrial enterprises, assessing their readiness for digital transformation, evaluating the economic effects of technology adoption, and identifying both the challenges and advantages associated with blockchain implementation. The study reviews changes in the formulation of national development goals toward greater economic digitalization and presents indicators for achieving these targets by 2030. It also considers the planned funding allocations for defense industry enterprises within the upcoming three-year budget cycle through 2027. The study identifies several challenges that may hinder the adoption of new technologies in defense enterprises, including stringent requirements for reliability, accuracy, and information security; the need to transform business models; continuous business process reengineering; and limited interest in promoting blockchain technologies at all stages of implementation. At the same time, the advantages of blockchain integration are summarized, such as reduced time and costs in identifying counterparties, improved information quality, and opportunities to develop proprietary digital platforms within enterprises. Finally, the study outlines several key directions for the further development of blockchain technologies in industry.</jats:p>
