Research on the impact of consumer goods import on the upgrading of China's manufacturing industry

In this paper, the import amount of seven categories of consumer goods and the output value of the manufacturing industry in China from 2005 to 2016 were used. The rationalization index of the manufacturing industry in China was calculated and used as the index of the upgrading of the manufacturing industry. Eviews software was used for quantitative analysis. Respectively by rationalizing imports of consumer goods and all kinds of imports of consumer goods and manufacturing index regression analysis, the regression results show that imports of consumer goods can promote our country manufacturing rationalization index of ascension and the increase of manufacturing output. Therefore, China should reduce import tariffs on consumer goods, expand the import scale of consumer goods, and increase support for domestic manufacturers in innovation input. Manufacturers should improve the level of innovation and increase investment in science and technology.
