Location of Industry Factors
| Physical | Human and Economic |
| Raw materials The factory needs to be close to these if they are heavy and bulky to transport. | Labour A large cheap labour force is required for labour-intensive manufacturing industries. High-tech industries have to locate where suitable skilled workers are available. |
| Energy supply This is needed to work the machines in a factory. Early industries were near to coalfields. Today, electricity allows more freedom. | Market An accessible place to sell the products is essential for many industries:
The market is not so important for other industries such as high-tech whose products are light in weight and cheap to transport. Such industries are said to be 'footloose'. |
| Natural routes River valleys and flat areas were essential in the days before railways and motorways made the movement of materials easier. | Transport A good transport network helps reduce costs and make the movement of materials easier. |
| Site and land Most industries require large accessible areas of cheap, flat land on which to build their factories. | Cost of land Greenfield sites in rural areas are usually cheaper than brownfield sites in the city. |
| Capital This is the money that is invested to start the business. The amount of capital will determine the size and location of the factory. | |
| Government policies Industrial development is encourages in some areas and restricted in others. Industries that locate in depressed ('Development') areas may receive financial incentives from the government and assistance from the EU in the form of low rent and rates. |

*Availability of raw materials,power esources,water facilities and favourable climatic conditionsare the physical factors that control industrial location.
*Labourers,transport facilities,banking facilities,market and government policies are the human factors.
*Least cost of production and availability of sufficient energy supply also influence location of industries.

1.NEARNESS TO THE SOURCE OF RAW MATERIAL: Large quantities of raw materials are needed for industries. Therefore industries are located near the source of raw materials. It saves the cost of transportation.Steel centres are developed where coal and iron are easily available. Jute mills in West Bengal and the cotton textile mills in Maharashtra are located due to the availability of raw materials.
2.POWER RESOURCES: Coal, oil and water power are the main sources of power. Most of the industries are located near coal fields. Aluminium industries and paper industries are located near hydroelectric stations.
3.MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION: Modern Industries need cheap, developed and quick means of transportation. Cheap means of transportation are required for the movement of workers, raw materials and machinery to the factories.
4.CLIMATE: Stimulating climate increase the efficiency of the labourers. The cotton textile industry required humid climate. The film industry needs good weather with clear blue skies. Similarly the aircraft industry also needs clear weather.
5.SKILLED LABOUR: cheap and Skilled labour is essential for the location of industries. Glass industry at Firozabad and the sports goods industry in Jalandhar are located due to the availability of Skilled labour.
