Abstract：The efficiency of cultural industry is an important index to measure the high-quality development of regional culture. Based on the panel data of the cultural industry in Hubei Province from 2014 to 2021， the paper uses DEA method to evaluate the efficiency of the cultural industry in the whole province and individual cities and states， calculates the evolution of this efficiency， and analyzes the driving factors of the efficiency of the cultural industry in Hubei Province by using Tobit regression model. It is found that the efficiency value of cultural industry in Hubei Province shows high scale efficiency and low pure technology efficiency， which leads to the lack of comprehensive efficiency. The analysis of regional differentiation reveals that the efficiency value of cultural industry in Wuhan city circle is relatively high. The analysis of dynamic evolution indicates that the efficiency of the cultural industry in Hubei province shows a trend of falling first， and then rising. The technological progress index has maintained a positive growth in most years， but its effect on promoting the comprehensive efficiency is insufficient. In terms of driving factors， market demand， technological innovation level， and informatization level have a significant positive impact on the efficiency of the cultural industry in Hubei Province. It is recommended to strengthen investment and guidance in the cultural industry field， consolidate the supporting role of technological and economic levels， and promote the improvement of regional cultural industry efficiency.
