Deindustrialization is the change in social and economic policies because of the removal or reduction of industrial activity in a country or region as small as a city. The most common area deindustrialization takes place is in manufacturing industries, and heavy industries.

Deindustrilization can also occur in the context of imperialism, when a mother country creates rules and regulations that desroy local industries in a colony. This forces population in a colony to become markets for goods manufactured in a mother country.
