Industry cluster analysis
How to interpret cluster data results
The graph’s four quadrants tell a different story for each cluster.
Contains clusters that are more
concentrated in the region but
are declining (negative growth).
These clusters typically fall
into the lower quadrant as
job losses cause a decline
in concentration.
Mature
Top left
(strong but
declining)
Transforming
Contains clusters that are
under-represented in the
region (low concentration)
and are also losing jobs.
Clusters in this region may
indicate a gap in the workforce
pipeline if local industries anticipate
a future need. In general, clusters in this
quadrant show a lack of
competitiveness.
Bottom left
(weak and
declining)
Contains clusters that are more
concentrated in the region and are
growing. These clusters are
strengths that help a region
stand out from the competition.
Small, high-growth clusters
Top right
can be expected to become
more dominant over time.
(strong and
Stars
advancing)
Emerging
Contains clusters that are
under-represented in the
Bottom right
region
but are growing, often
(weak but
quickly. If growth trends
advancing)
continue, these clusters will
eventually move into the top right
quadrant. Clusters in this quadrant
are considered emerging strengths
for the region.

Bubble chart interpretation
Mature Industries
Star Industries
Three industry clusters in the Indiana 15 Regional
Planning Commission (RPC) Region are in the
Maturing stage: Computer & Electronic Product Mfg.;
Arts, Entertainment, Recreation & Visitor Industries;
and Transportation & Logistics. These industries are
relatively concentrated, but their growth is trending
downward. It is worth noting, however, that the
Indiana 15 RPC Region may find it worthwhile to
invest in efforts to shore up the concentration of
these industries.
Star industry clusters are highly concentrated,
exporting and still experiencing growth in the region.
The most highly concentrated of the Star industry
clusters in the Indiana 15 RPC Region is Forest & Wood
Products . Its location quotient is 10.31, indicating that
the cluster is 10 times more concentrated in the region
compared to the U.S. The other strong clusters in the
region are Primary Metal Manufacturing,
Transportation Equipment Manufacturing, Apparel &
Textiles, Agribusiness, Food Processing & Technology,
Glass & Ceramics.
Transforming Industries
Transforming clusters capture the mix of industries
that are experiencing relative decline and limited
export capability. In the Indiana 15 RPC Region,
Energy, Biomed/Biotechnical (Life Science),
Machinery Mfg., Printing & Publishing, Information
Technology & Telecom., Business & Financial
Services, Education & Knowledge Creation, are all
Transforming clusters. Any amount of growth in these
industries would require relatively large investments.
section 02
Emerging Industries
Industry clusters that may be poised for future growth
are classified as “Emerging.” There are two Emerging
clusters in the Indiana 15 RPC Region: Defense &
Security and Electric Equipment, Appliances &
Component Manufacturing.
