Virtual agglomeration, as a new phenomenon and growth point of new disciplines, is quite advanced and involves a wide range of disciplines. This paper combs the connotation, characteristics, modes, incentives, effects and specific applications of virtual agglomeration in detail and evaluates them separately. It summarizes the academic divergences of virtual agglomeration and its future development:different spatial concepts, insufficient risk analysis; mainly for manufacturing industry, insufficient excavation of emerging industries; mostly from micro-enterprises and starting with industry, there is a lack of expansion of regional and international perspectives, and quantitative research and typical case analysis need to be strengthened. It points out that we should advocate an interdisciplinary perspective and mind, and explore the inclusive development of disciplines. In the future, we need to implement the essence and concept of the six two-wheel driving mechanisms (i.e., agglomeration and decentralization, traditional and emerging geography, micro and macro, commonness and individuality, disciplinary exploration and practice), and construct and improve the virtual agglomeration research system with Chinese characteristics.
