Abstract: This review is built upon existing literature to explicate the concept of metrology digitalization, the global explorations in this field, and the current state of metrology digitalization research in China. It encapsulates the developmental practices of metrology digitalization in China, scrutinizes the challenges encountered, and suggests potential strategies for securing the future transformation of metrology digitalization in China. Such strategies encompass the continual refinement of the overarching design of metrology digitalization, the establishment of a comprehensive research, development, and application system for metrology digitalization, as well as the cultivation of versatile talent specializing in metrology digitalization.
