Factors Influencing the Location of Industries : Geographical and Non-Geographical Factors!
Many important geographical factors involved in the location of individual industries are of relative significance, e.g., availability of raw materials, power resources, water, labour, markets and the transport facilities.
But besides such purely geographical factors influencing industrial location, there are factors of historical, human, political and economic nature which are now tending to surpass the force of geographical advantages.

(I) Geographical factors, and
(II) Non-geographical factors.
