In this paper, we investigate whether digital development improves industrial design innovation using Chinese province-level data. We use the design patent as a proxy for industrial design innovation and adopt a panel regression model to examine whether provinces with higher digital development have relatively more design patents. Our regression results show that there is a significantly positive relationship between the digital development level and industrial design innovation. Our results also show that this positive association is more pronounced in provinces with more economic vitality, and in the provinces with better digital infrastructure and digital application, digital talents can play a more important role in improving industrial design innovation. Our findings suggest that more policies and measures should be adopted to encourage digital development and application to improve design innovation in the industrial sector.
