Abstract <p>The article examines the level of digitalization of the Russian forestry industry using the Komi Republic as an example. The relevance of this work is determined by the need to overcome systemic problems in the forestry sector in the context of sanctions and the reorientation of export flows. The purpose of the study is to assess the current level of digital technology implementation in the forestry industry and identify priority areas for digital transformation. The paper provides the first analysis of data on the digitalization of forestry activities for 2023–2024¹. The results of the study demonstrate significant differentiation in the level of digitalization among subsectors. Basic digital technologies are widely used in wood sawing and planing; in the production of wood products, the level of technological equipment is lower, but there is a higher level of automation of business-processes. The analysis identified key challenges in digitalization of the forestry industry: low levels of implementation of integrated management systems; weak automation of production at small and medium-sized enterprises; and limited use of advanced digital technologies. Based on the obtained results, priority areas for digital transformation are proposed. It is concluded that digital transformation can become a driver for increasing the competitiveness of the Russian forestry industry.</p>
