Abstract The urban agglomerations are the fundamental units in the international competition. It is important to optimize its interior industrial structure, make the city function for supplementary each other, enhance the economical relation division and the cooperation and increase the economic integration degree. Therefore, it is very important to scientifically evaluate the degree of the industrial structure and division of the urban agglomerations too. The paper puts forward the grey correlative analysis method as the base of location quotient for the first time and conduct an empirical analysis on urban agglomerations of Henan province in view of the in sufficiency of the similar coefficient methods and the location quotient methods traditionally. The result indicated that compared with the similar coefficient methods only, the method may estimate the similar degree of the industrial structure between two areas and reflect the local industrial specialization, the comparison superiority, the region division degree. Moreover, compared with the location quotient methods only, it can quantificationally estimate the overall similarity of the region industrial structure between two areas. Compared with using the location quotient and the similar coefficient synthetically, it can quantificationally estimate the similarity of the different industry.
