Abstract The production matching capability is a key factor of regional investment environment. To attract extra-investment is an important way to promote the economic development in Henan province. Therefore, it will be a valuable research to evaluate the investment environment from the perspective of the production matching capability. This study identifies 18 industrial groups in Henan province by using the principal component analysis based on the input-output table of Henan in 2007. After evaluating the values of forward linkage coefficient and backward linkage coefficient of the industry groups, the authors classify the 18 industry groups in Henan province into 8 types to analyze the industry relevance. Some industry groups, such as food processing, non-ferrous metals, forest and textile have a stronger industry relevance degree because they have higher forward and backward linkage coefficient. Other industry groups have low industry relevance degree due to the lower forward linkages coefficient or backward linkages coefficient, or both. This paper also analyzes the competitive industries of the 18 cities in Henan to determine the production matching radius of industry groups through the advantage regional of the core industries. The Findings indicate that some industry groups such as food manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, textile, steel industries have large production matching radius because the maximum distance of the advantage regional for these industry groups more than 350km. The others have short production matching radius. The results show that some industrial groups such as forest and refractory enjoy the highest level of matching compared with other industrial groups in Henan by analyzing the economic relationship and spatial distribution of each industrial group. Some others such as coal and electricity, tobacco and wine have a higher level of matching. However, the remainders have lower level of matching due to different reasons.
