Digital Transformation in Manufacturing Enterprises: A Bibliometric Review of Research Trends and Thematic Evolution

Digital transformation has become a central strategic priority for manufacturing enterprises in response to rapid technological advancement, intensifying global competition, and the emergence of Industry 4.0. Although a rapidly growing body of research has examined digital transformation in manufacturing contexts, existing studies remain scattered across multiple disciplines, and a comprehensive synthesis of the intellectual structure of this field is still lacking. To address this gap, this study conducts a bibliometric review of digital transformation research in manufacturing enterprises based on publications retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection.
