The biggest boom of clusters in Europe is recorded after the turn of the millennium. It is particularly associated with the massive support from public budgets as support for new and interesting idea. Once practical experiences have shown neither this instrument (cluster) is not a guarantee of development and effectiveness. Therefore, there are many methods that help uncover the potential of the region for called cluster birth and development. This paper aims to critically assess the suitability of shift-share analysis method for the industrial clusters framework, namely to examine how the method can help determine if there are industrial sectors which are suitable for the formation of clusters.
