The study first analyzes the survival crises and transformation opportunities faced by traditional industries under platform economies, then introduces niche theory to establish a three-dimensional analytical framework of “platform-industry-user.” Through empirical case analysis, the paper identifies core issues in cross-border integration, including niche gaps, resource misallocation, and competitive barriers. It proposes platform-enabled niche-building strategies, encompassing technological coupling, organizational restructuring, and value co-creation, aiming to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for traditional industries in seeking new spaces for survival and development amid the platform economy wave.
