The aim of the article is to analyze the structural and dynamic characteristics of the processes of digital transformation of national socio-economic systems. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study are the scientific works of scientists in the study of the digital transformation system. To achieve the goal set in the work, the following research methods were used: theoretical generalization – the main directions of digitalization; methods of statistical analysis – to characterize the structural and dynamic trends in the development of the information and communication technology sector in Ukraine. Results. In the context of accelerated digital transformation of global processes, the competitiveness of both the national economy as a whole and individual business entities depends on the ability to create, implement and effectively use digital technologies in all areas of operation. The analysis showed that Ukraine, despite the relatively late development of digital transformations and the definition of digital development as one of the priorities of public policy, has a high level of potential for the development of IT technologies. This is confirmed by the presence of highly qualified specialists in demand in the world’s leading countries, the growth of exports of IT services, the accelerated growth of the internal market of information and telecommunications, the presence of sufficiently extensive communication infrastructure. A significant obstacle to the development of the national economy and accelerated digital transformation of business, in particular in the real sector, is the reduction of direct production of devices, devices and digital media (their specific weight in the industrial structure is only 2.5 % and halved during 2012–2019). This causes a significant dependence of Ukraine on imported media, equipment for digital technologies and partially digital content, as well as the preservation of the low level of technological structure of the country as a whole. More positive are the trends in the digitalization of the services sector, which is more mobile in this context and focused on the continuous introduction, improvement and use of digital technologies, including the creation of intelligent market services, the specific weight of which is growing every year. Examining the development of digital technologies in Ukraine, we can identify the following main trends that combine macro-, meso- and micro-levels of socio-economic systems in Ukraine and contribute to the accelerated transformation of the economy and society: the development of e-commerce; development of digital banking services and administration of public services. These areas are developing at an accelerated pace in recent years, outpacing the pace of their development, even in some EU countries. Practical meaning. Data from the analysis of structural and dynamic trends in the development of the information and communication technology sector in Ukraine, which can be used by scientists, teachers and students. Prospects for further research. Overcoming certain major barriers to the development and dissemination of digitization processes in national systems.
