The factors of influence on the development of the information economy are identified.

The dynamics of the development indicators of the information economy is analyzed. Prospective lines of the development of the information economy in the global cyberspace are identified, including the creation of a digital platform as a new business model; using the concept of Industry 4.0 and the “smart factory” as drivers for the digital transformation of industrial development; implementation of the “cyber physical system” as a single complex of information resources, systems and physical processes. A formula is proposed for evaluating the effect of the information economy development.
