Abstract

Against the backdrop of the accelerating development of the digital economy, data, as a new type of production factor, is reshaping industrial structures. As a strategic emerging industry, the low-altitude economy focuses on the operation of aircraft within intelligent networks and relies on massive, multidimensional, and real-time data to build its industrial ecosystem. From a data-driven perspective, this paper proposes a trinity system composed of data infrastructure, platform hubs, and application scenarios, emphasizing the critical role of the "data flywheel" effect in the self-reinforcement and expansion of the ecosystem. A three-stage evolutionary path model—emerging exploration, growth integration, and mature symbiosis—is constructed. The study concludes that data serves as the core driving force and evolutionary engine of the low-altitude economy ecosystem, contributing to a deeper understanding of the interactive mechanisms between data elements and industrial ecosystems, and providing references for enterprises in formulating data strategies and ecological niche strategies.
