DOI: 10.33917/es-3.195.2024.90-101

The article examines key trends in the development of the Russian appraisal industry in 2023–2024, analyzes problem areas and outlines the points of growth. The author relies on the results of an annual study of the valuation services market, which is conducted by the Rating Center of the Institute for Economic Strategies in order to study the ability of industry companies to adapt to current realities and to identify leaders capable of creating and exploiting high strategic potential. When forming a company profile and constructing a scenario forecast of the company’s strategic potential dynamics, in addition to quantitative indicators, qualitative indicators are analyzed, including the level of the services differentiation, the quality of goal setting, involvement in the activities of professional communities, the company’s attitude to the external environment — from participation in charity programs to attention to details that form the image.
