Global progress towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) remains critically off track, with current trends indicating that only 17% of targets will be met by the deadline. As sustainability transitions increasingly depend on regional and institutional capacity, understanding heterogeneous transition pathways and resilience across territorial contexts is essential. This study investigates whether observed divergence in SDG performance reflects temporary setbacks or persistent structural regimes characterised by distinct institutional and technological configurations. Using panel data from over 160 countries (2019–2024), we employ annual latent class analysis to identify hidden structures in SDG performance across 15 goals, introducing intertemporal volatility as a dimension of development dynamics. We complement this with ordered logistic regression to examine structural determinants of regime membership, including governance quality, digital infrastructure, health investment, and macroeconomic indicators. Our analysis identifies three temporally stable development regimes—lagging, transitional, and leading—with fewer than 15% of countries transitioning between classes over the observation period. ANOVA results reveal that internet access and government effectiveness exhibit the most substantial between-regime differences. Ordered logit models indicate that governance quality and digital connectivity are the strongest correlates of regime membership (government effectiveness: β = 0.943, p < 0.001; internet penetration: β = 0.049, p < 0.001), whereas short-term GDP growth exerts negligible influence (p > 0.10). These findings challenge assumptions of linear convergence in sustainable development and provide a data-driven framework for evaluating transition dynamics across diverse territorial contexts. The results suggest that achieving the SDGs requires that deep structural constraints be addressed—particularly digital divides and institutional quality—through regionally targeted policy design rather than relying solely on incremental adjustments or economic growth. The identified regimes provide a basis for place-based targeting by distinguishing contexts where governance and digital capacity constraints are binding.

The object of research is the market for Ukrainian table eggs. Having analysed the domestic market for table eggs, the main trends are found there. The dynamics of the consumption of table eggs in our country over the last few years and the factors that have the greatest impact are studied. The aim of the article. The research is to analyse and assess the condition of the table eggs market. Methodology. The study was conducted using a systematic approach, using methods of economic-statistical, logical, and functional analysis. The factors that influence the level of competition of domestic enterprises in the market for eating eggs are determined. Established market concentration indicators and calculated the concentration coefficients and the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, which indicate a significant degree of concentration in the market of the four largest egg production companies and the tendency to reduce the share of giant companies in this market. Value/originality. It is established that the domestic market for table eggs is oligopoly with undeveloped competition, which negatively affects its development, updating of assortment and consumer prices. One of the leaders in the market of food eggs is AVANGARDCO IPL, which offers the market its rather diverse branded products. The peculiarities of the activity of the agroindustrial company “AVANGARDCO IPL” as the leading producer of eating eggs in the market for poultry products with a high technological level, quality of products, and supply stability are investigated. In the future, such enterprises will gradually eliminate products produced at enterprises with less technological production, and therefore, more expensive and less qualitative. The features that are inherent in organic products and have their specifics in the context of the poultry product subcomplex are determined. On the basis of the conducted researches, the peculiarities of the demand for organic eggs produced by AVANGARDCO IPL were determined, which allowed substantiating the priority of the development of organic production for this enterprise in the market of our state and the EU countries.

In the paper, the signal system of Ukraine’s economy external sustainability is considered. For this purpose it is presented the Ukraine’s economy external sustainability indicators system that consists of 40 indicators that are divided into five groups: macroeconomic indicators; indicators, characterizing the current account position; indicators, characterizing the capital account position; debt indicators and indicators, characterizing the influence of the external sector. Based on the signal approach, the threshold percentiles, the probabilities of instability occurrence due to external disturbances and the noise-signal ratio for each indicator of external sustainability for the Ukrainian economy are calculated. The results of the noise-signal ratio calculations showed that their values for 21 indicators are quite high but less than one. Based on analysis of indicators’ signals, there is a clear tendency of more accurate identification of the volatility since 2008. For the overwhelming majority of indicators the probabilities of an unstable situation arising due to the signal from the indicator are high and exceed 50%. The probability of an unstable situation occurring without indicators’ signals for all external sustainability indicators except one also exceeds 50%. In addition to it for each of the five groups of indicators and the indicators’ system in a whole the average probabilities of unstable situation occurrence is calculated under the condition of a signal from indicators and without it.

In the article, the concept of competitive social advantages is considered. Social competitiveness, the potential of social competitiveness, and the social competitive status are characterized. Competitive advantages are shown to have various forms of expression due to certain determinants. A classification of competitive advantages is carried out. The framework of competitive advantages is described. The determinants of competitive social advantages of a country, among which the components of the level and quality of life, the maturity of the human, intellectual and social capital, the quality of public institutions, conditions of business development and innovations are suggested. The trends and means of achieving social competitive advantages are considered. The assessment of Ukraine’s position according to freedom indicators, the indicator of network readiness, Ukraine’s competitiveness index and index of travel and the tourism competitiveness is conducted.Key words: social competitiveness, social advantages, competitive social advantages, social potential, social capital
