The spatial agglomeration characteristics,spatial dependence and dynamic evolutionary characteristics of China's dairy industry from 2014-2021 are investigated with the help of locational entropy index,spatial autocorrelation model and standard deviation ellipse.The results show that there is a relatively stable agglomeration trend of China's dairy industry,which has shown obvious regional differences in industrial layout and the same layout patterns with the raw milk industry.The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the degree of agglomeration in dairy industry,but the lifting of quarantine policies and the introduction of industry revitalization plans have slowed the decline.China's dairy industry has formed a spa-tially integrated development pattern with Shanxi,Shandong,Henan provinces as the core,while there is no spatial effect in Inner Mongolia,Hei-longjiang,Ningxia provinces to neighboring provinces,despite they have significant agglomeration of dairy industry.The spatial distribution pat-tern is dominated by the"northeast-southwest"direction,and the center point of the dairy industry distribution is located in Hebei Province,the industrial core is moving westward,and the spatial spillover effect tends to be slightly weakened.
