By constructing a technological innovation diffusion (TID) index system of the manufacturing industry with 15 indexes from four dimensions of diffusion source, diffusion path, diffusion receiver, and diffusion environment, this paper measures the TID in the manufacturing industry and analyzes its distribution characteristics from the perspective of industry and region from 2005 to 2018 by using the entropy weight method and the dynamic multi-indicator projection pursuit (PP-IPM) method. The results show that the TID in China's manufacturing industry has a good development trend in the sample period, and the diffusion resources and paths have a relatively greater impact on TID; the absorptive capacity of the receiver also has a significant impact, while the impact of the diffusion environment is relatively small. During the sample period, at the sector level, a pattern has formed in which transportation equipment manufacturing, electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing, and communication equipment, computer and electronic equipment manufacturing are the sources of diffusion, gradually spreading to other sectors according to the degree of industrial relevance. At the regional level, the diffusion pattern is that Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Beijing, and Shanghai are the sources and diffuse to the surrounding and central and western regions successively.
