The article describes trends in the development of electronic manufacturing in the Soviet Union and after the gain of independence. The factors that may be the key to improving the competitiveness of domestic electronic production are given. Among them, scientific and human resources play an important role.The geography of the enterprises of the electronics industry is determined: Kyiv, Lviv, Khmelnitsky, Kharkiv, Rakhiv, Mykolaiv. The activities and product assortment of the leading manufacturers of personal computers are analyzed separately (Joint Stock Company «Navigator», company «VSESVIT», Limited liability company «Technique for Business», and «DiaWest-Computer World»).Changes in the structure of major subsectors of the electronic industry by size of enterprises during 2010–2017 were analyzed. In particular, the number of medium and large enterprises in the industry in 2015–2017 was relatively stable, while the number of small enterprises decreased.There are positive trends in some product groups in the industry: manufacture of computers, electronic and optical products, and production of electrical equipment with a lower level of knowledge intensity.Measures to increase the competitiveness of domestic electronics enterprises are grouped in three directions: microeconomic (attracting qualified engineering and design staff; employment of young specialists; updating the range; involving scientists in R&D; effective management), mesoeconomic (higher technical education; public-private partnership; increase in public procurement; preferential lease terms for state-owned property; increase in investment localization; long-term bank lending; creation of industrial parks; counteraction to smuggling), and macroeconomic (defining the priorities of scientific and industrial policy; development of legislation; structural transformation; diversification of development and production; international commercialization of research and production activities and cooperation; development of national innovation system infrastructure).
