Abstract This paper analyses the relationship between the concentration of urban agglomeration and the economic growth of urban agglomeration through the expanding theory of market areas, and tests the theoretical result using the panel data between 2000 and 2014 from eleven urban agglomerations. The result from theoretical analysis shows that the efficient output is likely to be stable in the growth of the concentration of urban agglomeration; and with the increase of the economies of scale and the improvement of the potential market size，the concentration of urban agglomeration will first be improved, and then drop. The result from the empirical test shows that the relation between the concentration of urban agglomeration and efficient output growth is nonlinear, and it is stable and robust. The development of the urban agglomeration in future should comply with the law of the development of urban agglomeration.
