Manufacturing cluster and specialized market are respectively formed from the high-degree concentration spatially of production section and sales section in economic activities, and their interaction and integration has become a new way for industrial transformation and upgrading in China's coastal areas. Based on the framework of theoretical analysis on co-evolution, with the leather industry in Tong'erpu Town, Liaoning Province as an example, and by means of field investigation and enterprise interview, this paper researches the formation & co-evolution process and driving mechanism of manufacturing cluster and specialized market, and focuses on surveying the functions of the government and enterprise derivation in pushing forward their co-evolution. The research shows that, the manufacturing cluster and specialized market of leather industry in Tong'erpu Town, Liaoning Province follow the evolution mode of symbiotic development, and present the co-evolution process of “co-enlargement of industrial scale, co-evolution of organization mode, and co-deepening of industrial division”. The broad consumption market in the Northeast China, the active promotion of local government, and the enterprise derivation in manufacturing cluster and specialized market are the main reasons for their co-evolution. Processing enterprises and sales merchants have promoted the formation of closer relationship between production and market network at the local place of Tong'erpu through backward and forward integration respectively. The leather industry at Tong'erpu Town has also been confronted with a series of challenges in its development process. Firstly, the appearance of modern enterprise groups is gradually disintegrating the foundation and precondition for the development of specialized market; secondly, the leather industry at Tong'erpu Town is confronted with the dilemma of insufficient talents and supporting services for its transformation; and finally, in specialized market, sales profit is higher than the leather processing profit, so plentiful capital transfers to sales field, and processing is confronted with the risk of decay. Different from the existing researches which pay attention to the impact of the adaptability change and derivation of enterprises inside certain industrial cluster on convention inheritance and diffusion, the present research expands the cognition with the mechanism of enterprise deviation's action on inter-industry co-evolution.
