The Structural Characteristics and Changes of Exhibition Industry in China

Abstract

The development of China’s exhibition industry is based on the spatial distribution characteristics of regional economic development, which shows the self-correlation and spillover effect between the exhibition industry and the regional economy. The level of regional specialization begins from the industrial structure characteristic the province. This study reveals the characteristics of the industry structure and spatial differentiation pattern of China’s provincial exhibition industry from the perspective of industry distribution by comparing 2017 and 2019, and finds that the current distribution of the industry sector is obviously different, the structure of the industry sector in the central and western regions is superior to the eastern part. The entropy of the national exhibition industry in different industry sectors shows increasing law, and the degree of specialization of the provincial exhibition industry in different sectors and regions prevails. Relevant adjustment paths are proposed to optimize the sector structure and spatial layout of the development of China’s exhibition industry, to promote the transformation to the direction of content upgrading, to give full play to the advantages of industrial industry, and to build an industry-driven exhibition industry development model.
