Abstract The development pattern of world industry is under a profound change from the production-driven to the consumer-driven, in which distribution process is a crucial part of value creation and information transmission. China has developed the forging ahead strategy which has led to maladjustment among production, distribution and consumption. Distribution matters more with the upgrading of an industry structure and the transformation of economic strategy. Therefore, traditional distribution economics should, from a more macro perspective, integrate New Industrial Organization Theory, New Economic Geography, New Institutional Economics, etc., and initiate new research fields involving distribution mechanism design, retail formats dynamic evolution, commercial regulation and market hierarchy. This means that the traditional distribution theory should achieve a paradigm shift from hard core to protection belt.
