Industry 4.0 and related technologies are increasingly essential and essential for improving the productivity of manufacturing enterprises. By focusing on indirect communication between machines and people, it is possible to better adapt the manufacturing system to the necessary changes, especially in today's unsafe environment, which is characterised by a growing likelihood of unpredictable events occurring. Consequently, the aim of this research is to determine whether companies can accept the new industrial revolution and accept advanced technology and whether this can be associated with an increase in economic growth of a given country. Given the fact that technology is growing more and more every day, consumer expectations in the future can force businesses to find alternatives. Consumers are increasingly expecting an innovative product in a short time. These facts relate not only to goods but also to services, and it is important to point out growing trends in consumer demands for personalised goods and services, which also requires additional efforts and education of the labour force. The high potential of industry 4.0 can encourage businesses to invest more and more in improving existing and emerging technologies, thus encouraging them to change in the way of production, business models or the whole organisation.
