Based on the relevant data of nine provinces and two cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2010 to 2020, the entropy weight method, coupling coordination model and spatial autocorrelation model are used to explore the coupling development relationship and spatial correlation between logistics industry and retail industry in this region. The results show that the average coupling coordination degree of the two systems in the Yangtze River Economic Belt has changed from serious imbalance to mild imbalance in 11 years, and the level of coupling coordination between provinces and cities is quite different. The spatial coupling of the two systems is positively correlated, and the spatial correlation in some areas is weak, and the agglomeration effect is not obvious. To promote the coordinated development of the logistics industry and retail industry in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, it is necessary to formulate development strategies according to local conditions, improve the service capacity of logistics infrastructure, and improve industry standards.
