In the article, the object of research is the telecommunications industry of the info communication services market of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Despite the fact that the structure of the communications and telecommunications market of the republic has changed significantly for the better in recent years, the development of various segments of the industry has diverse regularities that form quite definite trends that determine the prospect of their development. In this regard, the aim of the research was the analysis of the state of the telecommunications industry of Kazakhstan, identification of the main players in the industry, identification of tendencies and regularities of development of its segments. As a scientific tool for solving the problem set in the article, a set of methods of statistical and analytical analysis was used, on the basis of which the main provisions of the analysis, problems and tendencies of development are justified and illustrated. It should be noted that the market of information and communication services of the Republic of Kazakhstan is characterized by a state presence, the essence of which is manifested both in the use of tools that form structural and technological shifts in the development of market industries, and support for its development in priority areas that determine the competitiveness of the market of the state, as a whole. One of these tools in the development of the information and communication sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the state program “Digital Kazakhstan”. The development of the market is accompanied by the emergence of new players in it from the technology sector, and as a result, increase of the competition for consumer through the expansion of the range of services, improving their quality and pricing policy. As a result of competition, a pool of leading operators has been formed in the sphere of telecommunications services in the republic, whose activity already go beyond the national framework. At the same time, the infrastructure of the industry, which is characterized by the dominance of analog data transmission system and the underdevelopment of digital and satellite infrastructure, still needs to be improved. Taking into account the forecasts of rapid growth in the near future in the global market of mobile telecommunications services, this will require both from operators and from the state, in general, modernization of the existing telecommunications infrastructure, as one of the important factors of Kazakhstan’s entry into the global information space.
