Background. The goal of this study is to systematize the factors of economic clustering in terms of the cluster life cycle. Materials and methods. To solve the tasks set, the following methods were used: analysis, comparison, description, grouping, deduction, content-analysis of literature. Results. The main directions of research in the field of economic clustering are considered. Analyzed studies relating to the factors of clustering of economic entities. The factors specific to a certain stage of cluster life cycle are highlighted and systematized. A classification of factors in terms of adjustability is proposed (conditionally unregulated, conditionally regulated, regulated and entrepreneurial culture). Conclusions. The results obtained have both theoretical, expressed by the systematization of certain provisions of the cluster concept, and practical significance, which consists in the possibility of using the results to develop point mechanisms for influencing the clustering processes of economic agents.
