The Pearl River Delta, as a leading region in China's economic and industrial development, analyzing the characteristics of the industrial system (IS) of its major cities can play a role in predicting the trend of industrial development of other cities. In this study, a framework of the relation between the IS and the external environment and an evaluating index system are built based on the life cycle process of a product. According to the statistics, the current characteristics of the ISs in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Dongguan are quantitatively analyzed and compared. The results show that there has been an obvious homoplasy in the development of three cities’ ISs. For all of them, the hightech manufacture industry is the pillar industry which leads the development of regional economy, and it has a strong driving effect on the improvement of eco-efficiency of the IS. The main social services provided by the IS includes building materials, household appliances and wearing apparel and accessories. Shenzhen’s IS with higher net economic output; lower energy consumption and pollutant discharge plays a better demonstration and leading role in the development of the entire urban agglomeration.
