Abstract: As a new business format and mode, e-commerce can promote steady, efficient, and high-quality economic growth, while its own development also relies on the support of economic foundations. Based on the panel data of 31 provinces in China from 2014 to 2022,this study measures the development levels of e-commerce and economic growth as well as their coupling coordination relationship from multiple dimensions. The results show that： both e-commerce and economic growth in China exhibit a pattern in which eastern coastal provinces outperform those in the central and western regions; the coupling degree between e-commerce and economic growth is relatively high, but the overall coordination level remains moderate, with this issue being particularly pronounced in the western provinces;the spatial disparities in coupling coordination are primarily attributed to inter-regional differences, and the intra-regional disparities within the eastern provinces are the most significant. Additionally, the e-commerce scale, total economic output, and economic efficiency are identified as the core constraints on the coupling coordination relationship between these two systems. Based on these findings, policy recommendations are proposed, including strengthening government support for e-commerce development in the western region and promoting intra-regional collaborative cooperation.
