Abstract

With the continuous advancement of globalization, economies around the world are facing significant challenges and opportunities in industrial upgrading and structural transformation. This paper aims to explore the theoretical pathways and driving factors of industrial upgrading and structural transformation under the context of globalization, and provide corresponding policy implications. The study shows that technological innovation, deep integration into global value chains, and regional economic coordination are key factors driving industrial upgrading and structural transformation. The transformation of traditional industries relies on technological upgrades and the expansion of industrial chains into higher value-added sectors, while emerging industries promote economic growth through cluster development and cross-sector integration. At the same time, globalization brings a dynamic balance of cooperation and competition, requiring countries to achieve coordinated development in this process. Finally, this paper suggests that by increasing R&D investment, optimizing global value chain layout, and strengthening policy coordination, countries can effectively promote industrial upgrading and structural transformation, supporting high-quality economic development.
