The Research on Development of China’s Strategic Marine Emerging Industry Based on Grey System Theory

The 21st century is named marine century since the maritime economy has played an important role in global and regional economic development. This paper attempts to analyze China’s strategic marine emerging industries, applying the grey relative analysis method which fits the situation of less data and poor information. Firstly, we analyze the correlation between output value of China’s marine industry and the three main marine industries, which reach the result that the marine secondary and tertiary industry have more closely relation with the marine economy. Then, the sub-industry of the marine secondary and tertiary industry is listed to analyze the correlation between specific marine industry and marine economy. Next, according to the definition and characteristics of strategic marine emerging industry, the offshore oil and gas industry, marine scientific research & education management and other five industries are selected as China’s strategic marine emerging industry. Finally, it concludes and suggests to develop China’s strategic marine emerging industry in the future, which are to formulate the scientific policy system, to establish marine industrial concentration area, to improve marine ecological awareness and to focus on talent training specialized in strategic marine emerging industry. The present study embodies the application of grey system theory in analyzing China’s marine economic development which contributes to provide theoretical basis and practical references for choosing strategic marine industry scientifically.
