The "market for technology" strategy implemented by China after the reform and opening up did not achieve the desired effect. The reason is that the status of Chinese enterprises in the international division of labor in the global value chain (GVC) prevents enterprises from controlling the domestic market, resulting in the separation of market subject and innovation subject, thus unable to effectively drive innovation elements. To solve this problem, this article proposes that Chinese enterprises should directly control the domestic market by constructing a domestic value chain (NVC), and use the driving effect of market scale on technology to achieve technological innovation, which is "technology for market". This article demonstrates the problem through theoretical analysis, model analysis and case analysis, and finds that NVC is more helpful than GVC in helping Chinese enterprises to realize the driving effect of market size on technology.
