| As the social economy continues to sustained and healthy development, the readjustment of the industrial structure in China achieved notable results. But with the development of China’s economy and speeding up the process of industrialization, there are still many problems with the industrial composition. The restructuring of industry and optimization and upgrading become the key links in the development of the national economy. There are many factors affecting the industrial composition, especially consumption factors. Consumption is the real driving force of economic growth; it is also the major factor that affects the industrial structure adjustment and upgrading in a country or region. Therefore, the development of the industry must adapt to changes in consumer demand, in order to promote the adjustment and optimization and upgrading of industrial structure.Dalian is an important coastal city in the Northeast and has a very important strategic position in the development of the Bahia Economic Zone. The development of Dalian has very important practical significance to Liaoning and the old industrial base in northeast China. For a long time, Dalian regional economy maintains sustained, rapid and healthy development and it is the crucial time for the industrial structure adjustment and optimization. So, in this period, the study on the factors influencing industrial structure has the important practical significance. In the process of social production, consumer demand is the most direct factor in affecting the industrial structure. So, consumer demand as a starting point, this article reveals the influence of the consumption demand of residents on the industrial structure, to provide suggestions to promote harmonious development of the economy.This article bases on the critical period of adjustment and optimization of industrial structure in Dalian, supports by the theory of consumer demand and industry structure, uses input-output method to analysis the influence of consumption on industrial structure. The input-output analysis is a method for the analysis of the quantitative ratio between the inter-industry inputs and outputs through the input-output tables and input-output model. Firstly, the article analyzes the current development of consumer demand and industrial structure in Dalian, sums up the characteristics of consumer demand and the development characteristics of the three industries; and then uses the Dalian input-output tables to analysis the influence and induction between industry sectors, induce dependent degree, consumer industry structure and consumer-induced amount of industry structure; finally, on the basis of research and analysis in the previous section, this article proposes some countermeasures to expand consumption and promote optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure. |
