Based on the matching data of industrial enterprise database and customs database, this paper investigates the impact of foreign enterprises' export on the quality of domestic enterprises' export products from the perspective of industrial association. The results show that: (1) the export of foreign-funded enterprises can significantly promote the export product quality of domestic enterprises through the horizontal spillover of the same industry and the vertical spillover of inter industry correlation. (2) after further distinguishing domestic enterprises with different ownership and industrial technology levels, it is found that the export of foreign-funded enterprises has a more significant promotion effect on domestic enterprises in private and low-tech industries. Therefore, how to better identify and utilize the export spillover effect of foreign-funded enterprises is of far-reaching significance to promote the quality upgrading of domestic enterprises' export products.
