Аннотация:The article analyzes the changes in the spatial structure of the world industry at the regional level since 1950. The calculations were carried out on the basis of official sources of information from the World Bank, UNIDO, the US Science Foundation and others. A shift in industrial development towards developing countries is revealed in both mining and manufacturing industry. Currently, the ranking of the most industrialized regions of the world is headed by Asia. The world industry leaders are China, the United States and other developed countries, as well as some Asian developing countries.This article presents the analysis of the authors’ rating by industrial development in the period of transition to post-industrialism and a digital economy. Data matrix was created based on four indexes of the level of the industrial development by 117 countries. The country rank (position on the general list from the highest to the lowest value) was defined under each index (criterion). Country ranks by each index were summarized, and the integrated rank was determined (the leaders of the rating list received minimum points, and the outsiders - maximum). The rating data was used to characterize the industrialization process in the world at the modern stage of development. The article shows that the industrial production fragmentation contributes to the expansion of new technologies and development of industrialization. The industrially developed countries remain the leaders in all international rating tables (inclusive the authors’ rating). At the same time we can note the differentiation process of the developing countries. Their positions in the international ratings significantly differ. A major part of the developing countries (particularly, African) still represents the "deep periphery" of the world industry. The future will show how the global “industrial landscape” will change in the transition to a digital economy (“Internet of Things” and “Internet of Everything”).
