Abstract: Building the data element market stands as a crucial foundation for the successful implementation of China's digital strategies and the development of the digital economy. China's data element market is still in its early development stage, though data resources are abundant. Recognizing the imbalanced development status is essential for both theory and practice. This paper proposes the concept of "data element market readiness" based on the nascent market characteristics. Following the "tripartite constitution" of information ecology theory, an indicator system is established to measure the market readiness of 298 Chinese cities. Spatial analysis is further conducted on inter-city balance and regional competitiveness. The results objectively reflect the current overall status, issues and regional features of China's data element market, providing implications for policy making to promote an integrated national market.

Key words: Data element market, Market readiness, Information ecology theory, Spatial analysis, Construction of integrated market, Indicator system
