As a strategic emerging industry, environmental protection industry is important in the development of national economy. However, few empirical studies on the performance of environmental protection industry are carried out. In order to explore development performance and influencing factors of environmental protection industry in China, the selection of development data of China’s 31 provincial regions under the environmental protection industry was conducted based on industrial efficiency, economic contribution, industrial scale, and development speed. Development performance of environmental protection industry was qualitatively analysed and influencing factors were explored by using the method of factor analysis. Results show that the factor score of the eastern region is positive in both industry scale and pollution treatment. Factor score of industry scale, industry contribution and pollution treatment in the central region is positive. Development of environmental protection industry in the western region lags far behind other areas, and only factor score of industry contribution are positive and significantly higher than other areas. Factor score of industrial scale, industrial contribution, and pollution treatment in the northeast region is lower than that in the eastern and central region. Suggestions and countermeasures are proposed to promote the development of the environmental protection industry.
