deindustrializes
Dismantles manufacturing base
Deindustrializes is the verb form describing when a region, economy, or country loses or reduces its manufacturing and industrial capacity.
This typically happens when factories close, production moves elsewhere, or the economy shifts toward services and technology.
The Rust Belt deindustrializes as steel mills shut down and jobs moved overseas.
The process often brings economic hardship to communities that once depended on manufacturing employment.
