With the vigorous development of the economy in industrialized regions, industrial transfer (IT) has become an important way to alleviate economic pressure and enhance industrial competitiveness. By elucidating the relationship between IT and Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP), valuable insights can be gained to guide the formulation of industrial introduction policies with sustainable development thinking in mind for the transferring-in regions, thus improving GTFP. This paper, through a systematic literature review method, comprehensively reviews the impact of IT on economic development and the environment, discusses the calculation methods and influencing factors of GTFP, and analyzes the impact of IT on GTFP. By reviewing and integrating existing research, the paper emphasizes that the impact of IT on economic development is phased, the impact of IT on the environment is dual, and the impact of IT on GTFP varies by industry and region. Although the paper has certain limitations, as an indispensable resource, it provides theoretical depth and practical acumen for scholars and decision-makers, making insightful contributions.
