The article examines the current state and dynamics of the Smolensk region's public services market, namely, the cost of public services provided to the population of the region as a whole and by type. An analysis is made of the problems hindering the development of the market for services, including the imperfection of the classification system of services and their statistical accounting, the lack of financial support from the state, difficulties in assessing the quality of services due to the lack of a certification system for household services, and others. Based on the results of the analysis, a complex of organizational and economic measures is proposed aimed at improving the structure of the consumer services market, which will serve as a factor in the development of the regional consumer market and will allow balancing supply and demand.
