打造向西开放的优势产业，实施走出去战略是新疆参与我国政府提出的建设“新丝绸之路经济带”的重要举措。本文在对向西开放优势产业的内涵与特征分析的基础上，从对外开放能力、经济效益、比较优势和可持续发展能力四个方面构建了新疆向西开放优势产业选择的指标体系；运用因子分析和灰色定权聚类分析相结合的方法确定出新疆向西开放的优势产业。研究表明，新疆向西开放背景下的优势产业总体上可分为现有优势产业与潜在优势产业两种类型。为进一步调整和优化产业结构、提升向西开放水平，提出了发展优势产业的思路和相应对策措施。
Creating competitive industries opening to the west and implementing the“going-out”strategies are important measures of Xinjiang to take part in the proposition of building“the economic region of new silk road”made by the Chinese government. This paper builds Xinjiang’s index system of choosing the western-oriental competitive industries in four aspects of the opening up ability，economical value，comparative advantage and sustainable development ability based on the analysis of embedded value and characteristics of western-oriental competitive industries. Then this paper distinguishes the western-oriental competitive industries using the factor analysis and weighted gray clustering analysis. According to our research，western-oriental competitive industries can be generally divided into current competitive industries and potential competitive industries. Then this paper proposes the train of thought and corresponding strategies to develop competitive industries.
