The word is composed of 'Industrie' (industry) and 'Gebiet' (area). The 's' in the middle is a linking s that connects the two parts of the word. So it literally describes an area for industry.

The city is planning a new industrial area in the north.
Pay attention to the difference between dative and accusative with the preposition 'in'. You work 'im Industriegebiet' (in the industrial area; dative, location), but you drive 'ins Industriegebiet' (to/into the industrial area; accusative, direction).

My father works at a large company in the industrial area.
Common verbs used with 'Industriegebiet' (industrial area) are 'sich ansiedeln' (to set up / become established), 'liegen' (to be located), or 'entstehen' (to develop / come into being). The topic is often the economic development of a region.
