Abstract: At present, the international academia is waging on research of Strategic Niche Management (SNM) aiming at the brand-new technology of leaping over the "valley of death" and achieving sustainable development, and the method of SNM has also aroused interest in China. In order to sort out the current domestic SNM research status, 93 Chinese literature sources from CNKI are collected for data. Using methods of mapping knowledge domain and CiteSpace Ⅲ, a visual analysis is conducted from three aspects, which include the researcher cooperative network, research institutions cooperative network and keywords of co-occurrence mapping knowledge analysis, aiming at reviewing a comprehensive status and focus of SNM research. The research indicates that:(1) SNM research in domestic has formed a relatively significant research team at present. However, the cooperation between research institutions is low and not widespread; (2) There are lots of research hot spots of SNM and they present obvious dynamic evolution characteristics; (3) SNM research path in domestic circle can be roughly divided into two branches, which is the path of "Niche-Technology Niche-Enterprise Technical Ability" and the path of "Technology Niche-Strategic Niche Management-Localization Application"; (4) The leading research of SNM foreland mainly focuses on construction of protective space, evacuation and effect evaluation of protective space.
