Summary/Abstract: The article aims to present the impact of the relocation processes of industrial entities on the dynamics of changes in the distribution of production activities in Wrocław (Poland) and the suburban area in the years 2008–2016. The study is based on the analysis of data from the REGON database for 2008 and 2016. As a result of the study, it was found that the relocation of industrial activities has little impact on the distribution of production activities in Wrocław (up to 10%), and a little more for industrial activities in the suburban area (up to 25%). The decisive factors are the current operating conditions of the enterprise, which may lead to the disappearance or creation of new business entities. To a large extent, relocation of industrial activities is related to the process of suburbanisation (nearly 80% of entities that changed their seat are natural persons running a business), domestic capital (over 90%) and the size of entities (90% of entities are micro and small enterprises employing up to 9 people).
