The tertiary industry, also known as the tertiary industry, was first put forward by Fisher, a British economist and professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, in his book The Conflict between Security and Progress. The tertiary industry refers to other industries except the primary and secondary industries (also called the tertiary industry). According to the Opinions of the National Bureau of Statistics on Establishing Statistical Statements of the Tertiary Industry forwarded by the General Office of the State Council, China's tertiary industry includes two major departments: circulation and service, which are divided into four levels: first, the circulation department: transportation, post and telecommunications, commercial catering, material supply and marketing and warehousing; Second, departments that serve production and life: finance, insurance, geological survey, real estate management, public utilities, residents' services, tourism, information consulting services and various technical services; The third is the departments that serve to improve the scientific and cultural level and the quality of residents: education, culture, radio, television, scientific research, health, sports and social welfare; Fourth, state organs, political party organs, social organizations, police, military, etc. , but they are not included in the tertiary industry output value and gross national product of China. It can be seen that this tertiary industry is basically a service industry.

At present, the significance of accelerating the development of the tertiary industry is as follows: (1) It is conducive to establishing and perfecting the socialist market economic system. (2) It is conducive to accelerating economic development and improving the quality of the national economy and comprehensive national strength. (3) It is conducive to expanding employment and alleviating the employment pressure in China. (4) It is conducive to improving people's living standards and realizing a well-off society.

The tertiary industry refers to the industry that does not produce material products, that is, service industry.

In the Classification of National Economic Industries (GB/T 4754-2002), the tertiary industry is divided into 15 categories, that is, there are 48 categories from F to T, which is the most classified industry.
