台商在廣東省的投資，主要是集中在珠江三角洲一帶，如廣州、深圳、佛山、東瓷、惠州、中山和泊頭等地區。近年來台商在廣東省的投資，已有逐漸向廣東山區分散的趨勢。就產業結構的分佈而言，絕大多數的台商仍是以投資製造業為主。在投資的行業類別方面，台商在廣州、佛山和中山主要是以製鞋業為主;而在深圳、東克和惠州，台商係以電子業的投資為童心。在投資區域與行業的集中特色方面，珠江三角洲已出現了台商的鞋城、紡織城、燈飾城和電子城。例如，在深圳的龍華已形成自行車專業區，在東竟已形成製鞋專業區。目前台商在廣東省的投資，已逐漸呈現飽和的現象。台商若仍欲前往廣東投資，粵東、粵西和粵北山區仍有勞力密集型項目的投資空間。在深圳、東克和珠海經濟特區，由於土地和工資成本日漸上漲，以及致力發展第三產業和高新科技產業，造成了以勞力密集型為主的台商，逐漸喪失了在特區內的經營優勢，已經有不少的台商北移。
