Their connection to the increasing importance of knowledge and to their converting into a separate factor of production was substantiated, which directly affects the formation of the national competitiveness of the economies of countries and increase in their productivity. A historical review was performed and it was discovered that the model of innovative development of national economy transformed into the concept of the "knowledge economy”, because scientific and technological innovation is just the final result of a wide range of socio–economic factors, many of which form and operate outside the productions facilities, where innovations are directly implemented.

They are based on knowledge and are an important driver in the development of the world economy under conditions of global economic integration. The main factors were investigated that influence the pricing of knowledge–intensive services. The factors of the formation of the market for knowledge–intensive services were substantiated. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the systematization of scientific and practical bases of the development of knowledge–intensive services in the context of global economic integration.
