The Impact of Industry 5.0 on Enterprise Resilience in the Digital Environment

Abstract

This article investigates the impact of Industry 5.0 on enterprise resilience within the digital environment, addressing a highly relevant topic amid the global digital transformation and sustainability challenges. The focus is on a new paradigm that transcends Industry 4.0’s automation, emphasizing human-centricity, corporate social responsibility, and ethical value creation in enterprise management. The purpose of this study is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of Industry 5.0’s potential as a driver of financial, social, and environmental resilience in enterprises. The object of the study includes businesses at various stages of digital maturity and innovation adoption. The methodological framework combines systems analysis, comparative assessment, and structural-functional approaches. Additionally, the study employs market analytics, secondary data, and international case studies from leading adopter countries. Findings reveal that although the global Industry 5.0 market is projected to grow rapidly (CAGR 29.7% by 2030), real-world implementation is progressing slowly. Smart inventory systems, mass customization, and intelligent production workflows have demonstrated a positive influence on corporate financial stability. However, the lack of sufficient empirical data highlights the need for further research using firm-level data to evaluate actual changes in resilience performance. The practical value of the study lies in developing methodological guidelines for digital transformation policies, designing adaptive management models, and building tools to assess enterprise sustainability in the digital age. The study concludes that Industry 5.0 is not merely an extension of previous industrial revolutions but a transformative concept aimed at fostering a sustainable, human-centric industrial future.
