Abstract

Against the dual backdrop of deepening digital penetration and growing demands for high-quality economic development, the home appliance industry—an iconic representative of "Made in China"—is in urgent need of breaking through inherent development bottlenecks. This study takes 46 listed home appliance enterprises as research objects to systematically explore the impact mechanism and practical paths of digital transformation on their high-quality development, aiming to provide decision-making references for industrial transformation, strategic formulation, and new-quality productivity cultivation. The findings indicate that digital transformation exerts a significant positive effect on the high-quality development of home appliance enterprises, with digital innovation, innovation efficiency, and supply chain efficiency playing key mediating roles. Notably, this promoting effect exhibits obvious heterogeneity among enterprises of different ownership types and regional distributions.
