Abstract:Based on Web of Science database (WOS) and CNKI database, it is studied and analyzed the literature related to design service industry published from 1995 to 2020, and the knowledge hotspots and research scenes in the field of design service industry are analyzed through the interpretation of Cite Space 5.7.R2 visualization. The research results show that:(1)my country's research started late and the number of research results is leading, but high-quality literature is lacking.(2)Foreign design service industry research has formed an agglomeration effect, which is most affected by business environment factors. The transition from theoretical normative research to empirical case studies is being carried out. Research on design service industry in my country is strongly guided by industrial policies, and the evolution path is industrial education —Industrial Policy—Industrial Convergence.(3)foreign studies mainly focus on scientific and technical disciplines in terms of disciplines, and focus on several major themes in terms of contents, with relevance and undertaking; while domestic studies mainly focus on humanities disciplines in terms of disciplines, with relatively scattered themes in terms of contents, lacking certain undertaking.
