With the acceleration of economic globalization and marketization, industrial clusters constitute the basic space structure of the modern world economy. Demonstrative analyses reveal that industrial clusters are closely related to regional economy. In recent years, the industries of metallurgy, building materials, machinery, textile and processing of forest products have begun to show their power and industrial clusters appeared in an embryonic form, but with evident characteristics of small scope, low level and low density. As a result, how to further cultivate and expand industrial clusters and how to develop the functions of industrial clusters and strengthen regional economic competitiveness have become a key issue of constructing West-Taiwan strait economic zone and building a Well-off society in an allround way.This paper, by applying relevant knowledge and theory of competitive economics, uses the research results of modern western economics for reference and centers around the practice of industrial clusters both home and abroad and regional economy. Through normative analysis and positive analysis, qualitative analysis and quantative analysis as well as comparative analysis, this paper makes Sanming areas as research subjects and emphasizes on the acceleration of development of industrial clusters and the enhancement of regional economic competitiveness. First, the paper briefly analyses the present condition and problems of industrial clusters in the north west regions. Then, it investigates into the causes of backwardness of industrial clusters and weak regional economic competitiveness. Last, by analysing successful practice and experience of development of industrial clusters, this paper puts forward the countermeasure of further cultivating the industrial clusters and promoting the economic competitiveness in the north west Fujian Province.
