Construction and empirical research on the evaluation index system of China's integrated data market Development
To assess the development status and regional disparities of China's integrated data market
this study focuses on the core characteristics of "integration" and constructs an evaluation index system based on the "Five Unifications and One Opening" policy framework. The system encompasses five dimensions: unified market foundational institutions
unified physical infrastructure
unified government regulation and governance
unified factor resource market
and continuous expansion of opening-up to the outside world. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for weighting
an empirical measurement was conducted on the development level of integrated data markets in 18 representative cities across nine major strategic regions
including Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei
in 2025. The results show that the market is in the initial transition stage from "administrative-driven" to "market-driven". It presents a three-layer structural characteristic of "leading market foundational institutions
insufficient endogenous market momentum
and differentiated layout of opening-up". Spatially
it exhibits a pattern of "high in the east
low in the west; fast in the south
slow in the north
" with Shanghai
Beijing and Shenzhen forming the core leading poles
and several major urban agglomerations developing a synergistic "multi-polar heterogeneous and complementary advantages" model. Based on these findings
policy recommendations are proposed to promote the systematic transformation of the data market from aspects such as scenario-based pricing
categorized policy implementation
and institutionalization of rules and technologies.
