Based on the panel data of 30 provinces, cities and autonomous regions in China from 2011 to 2020, the entropy method was used to measure the index of manufacturing quality development in each region, and the impact of human capital on the quality development of manufacturing industry was explored through Tobit regression model. The results indicate that human capital has a positive and significant impact on the high quality development of manufacturing industry; overall, Beijing has the most advanced level of high quality development of manufacturing industry, while Xinjiang has the least. There is a significant negative relationship between the level of economic development and import and export scale and the level of manufacturing quality development. Based on this, several suggestions are made for the future development of high quality manufacturing.
