Liquid metal material is a new type of metal material, which has good physical and chemical properties and can be widely used in various fields. At present, the liquid metal material industry has gradually formed and a large number of breakthrough technologies about new materials have emerged. How these breakthrough technologies form their own development paradigm needs to be further clarified. In this paper, starting from the development background of liquid metal materials and the concepts related to technology path and technology track, relevant literatures from different research perspectives are sorted out. Further analysis of the characteristics of the liquid metal industry breakthrough technology, gradually clarify the related factors influencing the development path. Finally standing on the industrial development of the breakthrough technology development path choice the motivation and mechanism of some ideas.
