How digital technology affects economic growth through industrial structural change?

Abstract This article explores through an empirical study how changes in industrial structure as a result of the development of digital technology can affect economic growth. The study finds that, in general, the development of digital technology has a positive impact on economic growth, but based on the perspective of industrial structure change, the servitization of the industrial structure due to the development of digital technology can inhibit economic growth. Thus, economy factor must be guided to integrate deeply with the real economy, especially the manufacturing industry, and must not be allowed to flow excessively into the service industry.
