Introduction. In the latest economic model, the growing role of data, network effects, and digital ecosystems changes the logic of competition and the sources of enterprise market resilience. This context determines the relevance of the topic, as global market volatility and resource constraints intensify the demand for flexible digital tools that support business scaling and stable interaction with partners.

Methods. The methodological basis includes systemic, structural-functional, and comparative analysis, synthesis of academic sources, logical modelling, and interpretation of platform business models.

Results. The study shows that digital platforms form competitive advantages through lower transaction costs, faster coordination among market participants, the accumulation and analytical use of data, the activation of network effects, business scaling without proportional cost growth, revenue diversification, and the inclusion of the enterprise in digital ecosystems. This combination also improves business model adaptability. It is proved that a sustainable effect arises when platform architecture is aligned with digital strategy, marketing, service model, analytics, and change management. The scientific novelty lies in the systematization of value creation mechanisms and the sources of enterprise competitive advantages in the platform economy with the distinction of operational, analytical, market, and strategic levels of their manifestation.

Discussion. The practical value of the results lies in the possibility of using the proposed provisions in the development of digital strategies, the selection of platform integration models, the assessment of business scaling prospects, and the determination of investment priorities in digital infrastructure. Further research should focus on testing these mechanisms across different sectors and enterprise sizes. Particular attention should be paid to practical indicators for assessing the return on platform investment, the strength of network effects, and the role of data-driven tools in enhancing enterprise resilience.
