Abstract This paper compared the share change of Chinese manufacturing in 2001 and 2009 on different scales, and did an empirical analysis between the impacting factors and the share change on the municipal level. According to the theoretical analysis and assumptions between the change of manufacturing share on municipal scale and its impacting factors, which including economic developing level, labor wage, traffic facilities etc., this paper established the econometric model and carried out the Weighted Least Squares (WLS) regression. The results showed variously useful information: 1) the regional manufacturing share and the level of economic development has relationship as an inverted U shape, e.g. regional manufacturing share increase firstly and then decrease as the economic developing level rises; 2) the current manufacturing industry still has a certain dependence on the labor of low cost; 3) the improvement of traffic facilities have significant positive effects on the growth in the manufacturing share; 4) the impact of regional level of opening up on the share of manufacturing is not significant.
