'Industrieland' (industrialized country) is a compound noun made up of 'Industrie' (industry) and 'Land' (country). So it literally describes a country that is strongly shaped by industry. The 'e' is a linking element that connects the two words.
Japan ist ein hoch entwickeltes Industrieland.
Japan is a highly developed industrialized country.
This word is often combined with adjectives that describe the level of development. Common phrases are 'ein führendes Industrieland' (a leading industrialized country), 'ein modernes Industrieland' (a modern industrialized country), or 'ein aufstrebendes Industrieland' (an emerging industrialized country).

The word element 'Industrie-' (industrial/industry) is very productive and forms many other nouns in the area of economics and society. Examples include 'Industrieproduktion' (industrial production), 'Industriegebiet' (industrial area), or 'Industriezeitalter' (industrial age).
In unserer Stadt gibt es ein großes Industriegebiet mit vielen Fabriken.

developing country
'das Entwicklungsland' and 'das Industrieland' belong to the same topic, but they mean almost the opposite. A developing country has a lower level of economic, social, and industrial development. An industrialized country has a highly developed economy, modern technology, and an important industrial sector. The words can be confused because they both describe groups of countries and are often compared together. As a practical tip: 'Entwicklungsland' means rather less developed, while 'Industrieland' means highly developed and industrially strong.
