In factor marketization process of China, advancing the market-oriented allocation of data factors is pivotal for enhancing their economic value. Systematically measuring regional data marketization levels is of significant importance, yet research in this area remains limited. An index is developed to measure this level, based on a theoretical framework of analyzing the definition and attributes of data factors. This index is constructed from three aspects: supply, development, and application (SCA) of data factor. The level across 30 provinces in China from 2014 to 2022 is measured, and further its impact on corporate performance within regions is examined, along with the underlying mechanisms. Empirical results show that the marketization of data factors significantly enhances corporate performance. Additionally, the analysis of mechanisms reveals that enhancing both governance structure and external supportive environment are important pathways through which the marketization of data factors influences corporate performance. However, this positive effect is less pronounced for corporations located in non-eastern regions of China and for state-owned enterprises, compared to their counterparts in the eastern areas and non-state-owned firms. Also, this effect exhibits significant industry-specific variations.
