The Industrial Revolution provided both the mechanical engine of progress and the emotional engine of progress. These two things, the capacity to expand and the will to expand, fed directly into Imperialism.
On a more direct, grounded level, the Industrial Revolution gave Europeans the ability to mass produce weapons and technologies. This gave rise to a need to export these manufactures and under the Mercantile Economic System (which was in its final days) export regions were taken as colonies to be administrated by the producing power. The weapons that were mass produced made fighting wars much easier.
The technologies and products that came out of the factories raised the standard of living of Europeans which lead to an increased value in how they saw their civilization. Europeans believed that their culture was behind their consistent technological progress and moved to annex regions to "improve" their culture. This mentality was encapsulated by the "White Man's Burden" by Rudyard Kipling. The Expansion of Empire itself was also symbolic of European dominance and cultural superiority as they reasoned that only powerful empires can expand over new territories.
