As industrial production rose, what type(s) of production declined?

As industrial production rose, notably in Europe, economies provided by individual, independent artisans started to diminish. This is exampled in India where industry was not big enough to provide jobs for these independent artisans, and they were forced to migrate to the country side.  Another diminished economical system due to the Industrial Revolution was the African slave trade. As industry rose the slave trade seemed to do the opposite, although this was partly because of increased protests, it was also being damaged by the creation of more profitable practices, like providing raw materials to Western industry.
