Since its inception, new quality productive forces have garnered extensive attention from both theoretical and practical circles. To objectively grasp and deeply understand the research progress and evolution trends of new quality productive forces, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) database and the CiteSpace software were used to analyze 950 articles published in CSSCI, CSCD, and Peking University Core Chinese Journals. By sorting out the research progress and hotspots, and mapping a knowledge graph, the results reveal that since September 2023, the number of publications in the field of new quality productive forces has grown rapidly, and several influential scholars and research institutions have emerged. However, most scholars lack stable cooperation relationships, showing an overall pattern of “local agglomeration and overall dispersion”. The cooperation among research institutions is not tight, with noticeable regional cooperation but limited cross-disciplinary cooperation. In terms of research hotspots, technological innovation and digital economy have become the focus of scholars’ attention. The integration of new quality productive forces with technological innovation, new quality productive forces and emerging industries, as well as the empowerment of new quality productive forces, have emerged as new research trends. In the future, it needs to build upon current research achievements and continue to deepen the study of new quality productive forces from three aspects, such as strengthening the theoretical and rational explanation of new quality productive forces, expanding the research dimensions of new quality productive forces, and extending the research methods of new quality productive forces.
