Morphology

reindustrialization = industrialization (transparent) = re + industry + al + ize + ation

Adding 're-' to 'industrialization' straightforwardly gives the meaning of industrialization again or renewed industrialization.

Etymology

Reindustrialization starts with re- meaning 'again' and the industrial part comes from industry, which means 'work' or 'factories'. So reindustrialization is the process of bringing industry or factories back and making them stronger.
