Industry Concentration in Missouri
Industry concentration analysis using location quotients (LQ) helps identify the industries that are more specialized in a particular area. Businesses that are more specialized due to exporting goods and services, or because they draw customers in from outside the state, are important sources of new income. Overall, the manufacturing sector in Missouri has an LQ of 1.2, indicating the industry is more concentrated in the state than in the U.S. At the three-digit NAICS industry level, manufacturing represents six of the top 10 most concentrated industries in Missouri.
