The factors of influence on the development of the information economy are identified, which are conditionally classified into five groups: research and development in the field of ICT; employee component; ICT sector development; digital technologies in business; information security.

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.
