This article presents the use of the concept of cultural industries as a path for research processes through a bibliographic construction. It begins with a literature review that covers from 2000 to 2018, by means of the exploration of 25 impact articles, at a global level, from the main journals indexed in the Scopus database. This is a non-experimental, exploratory, and conceptual study that achieved the identification of topics that are associated to the research on this concept, and to the recognition of new spaces of appropriation. We recognized the transformation of cultural industries, from intermediaries into duty bearers, functioning as catalysts of new spaces of inclusion. In addition, the research has focused on specific populations and human groups, which has generated the imminent need for greater regulation of the cultural sector, inasmuch as there are different ways and forms of action, so there are no defined structures. This article is proposed as a first phase of research that took the very concept of cultural industries as a starting point, since it is the general environment for the search of information, with the aim of extending this information to the entire cultural sector in a future research that will also impact and generate specific results within each of the subsectors that are part of the creative and cultural ecosystem.
