Agglomerations of firms already are studied since 1890, with the pioneering British economist Alfred Marshall. At the time, Marshall was able to identify some of the main reasons that led firms to adopt this clustering behavior and the benefits that such an environment generated both companies and for the environment in which they settled. Since then, further studies have been conducted on the topic of new forms and structures were identified and baptized: cluster, a pole of growth, innovative environment, local productive arrangement (APL) etc.. Thinking about the benefits generated by these structures for companies and regions that host them, this work was performed. To this end, four territories of the State of Cearà were addressed: Curu Valley and AracatiaÃu, Caninde Hinterland, Hinterland and Central Inhamuns CrateÃs. We used the instrumental of locational indicators (location quotient, and the relative share Hichmann-Herfindahl index) to identify potential points of existence of these structures. Later, there was a test that could be instrumental use of factor analysis, the necessary condensing indicators into a single index, called the concentration index productive - ICP. Through the latter, it was possible to spatially locate the potential of each municipality in relation to the existence of concentration selected productive sectors: Agriculture, Fishing and aquaculture and processing industry. We noticed a significant potential existence of these structures in most of the municipalities analyzed, with the highlight of the territories Valley Curu and AracatiaÃu and Inhamuns CrateÃs.
