As emerging drivers of economic and cultural development, Creative Industries are increasingly subjected to technological transformations, with the carpet industry standing as a prominent paradigm. Despite the significance of technology transfer within this domain, the scientific literature remains fragmented, lacking a coherent depiction of knowledge trends. Employing a Bibliometric Analysis, this study aims to map the knowledge structure of technology transfer in creative industries, systematically examining the past, present, and future trajectories of the field. To collect data, searches were conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases by combining the concepts of “technology/knowledge transfer and its channels” and “creative/cultural industries and subsectors.” In the identification stage, a total of 834 records were retrieved. After merging the datasets in the R environment, 647 unique documents remained. Subsequently, citation-based filtering (excluding records with an average annual citation rate of less than 0.25) resulted in 578 documents entering the evaluation stage. Next, through content screening of titles and abstracts to ensure explicit simultaneous relevance to “technology/knowledge transfer/transfer channels” and “creative/cultural industries,” 288 eligible documents were identified. Finally, by performing Bradford dispersion analysis and restricting the dataset to core journals, the final corpus was reduced to 208 documents (from 158 sources). Performance analyses and science mapping (Co-Citation, Bibliographic Coupling, and Thematic Evolution) indicate that the literature has shifted from traditional equipment-based approaches toward softer components such as knowledge transfer, absorptive capacity, and innovation. The results also suggest a growing convergence of creative industries with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, alongside the increasing salience of intellectual property rights challenges.
