Abstract

The rapid development of the global digital economy has pushed the digital culture industry chain to become an important support for national economic growth and the enhancement of cultural soft power, and its sustainable development depends on the optimization and efficient operation of the industry chain. However, existing studies mostly focus on content creation, technological innovation, and market expansion, and the systematic research on the development of the industry chain is still insufficient, especially in the gaps in the compilation and comprehensive analysis of key influencing factors. This study adopted the literature review method to integrate the research results on the digital culture industry chain at home and abroad and focused on analyzing the core factors, such as policy support, technological innovation, market demand, human resources, and internationalization. The study indicated that policy incentives and technological progress were the main external driving forces for the rapid development of the industry chain, while market diversity and cultural innovation capacity enhance its resilience and sustainability. In addition, there were significant differences in the impacts of the institutional environment, digital infrastructure, and cross-disciplinary collaboration on the optimization and upgrading of the industry chain in different countries and regions. Future research should strengthen interdisciplinary integration, explore the dynamic evolution of the industry chain under the interaction mechanism of policy, technology, and market, provide theoretical support and empirical evidence for policy formulation and industrial practice, and promote the high-quality development of the digital culture industry chain.
