Abstract: This study aims to analyze the development trend of the manufacturing industry of the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (from 2008 to 2018) by constructing an evaluation system. On the basis of push–pull–mooring theory, we analyze these factors by using an entropy and cluster model. The results show the following: (1) Technological development had an obvious spatial distribution pattern of core regional radiation, while others did not. (2) Economic development was based on the city’s existing industrial development system, while environmental development depended on governmental policies. (3) Compared with the environmental factor, the development trends of the economic and technological factors were more similar. Lastly, we provide four strategies for the development of the manufacturing industry in different cities.
