Economic growth point refers to the economic support point or thrust point that has potential or realistic high economic growth ability and plays a decisive role in the whole economic growth. This economic growth point with overall significance can be manifested in the development of several industrial sectors, the linkage of some regional economies, the emergence of some innovations (systems or industrial policies), and even the exploration and embodiment of some unique advantages. Without a number of effective economic growth points, the economy of any country or region can not be fully developed.

From a macro perspective, economic growth points can be divided into three types from three different angles: region, ownership and industry (department): from a regional perspective, urban economy can be said to be a regional economic growth point; From the perspective of ownership, the proportion of state-owned economy has declined since the reform and opening up, although it is still in a dominant position, but from the perspective of growth vitality, collective economy, private economy and joint-stock economy can be said to be more dynamic growth points of ownership economy; From the perspective of industries (departments), high-tech industries such as communications, electronics and bioengineering can be said to be new industrial economic growth points. But this is a rough division on the whole and cannot be generalized.

Reasonable economic growth point has powerful gathering function, demonstration function and radiation function, which can effectively promote economic growth.
