Following are the factors that influence the location of industries –

1. Importance of raw material – Raw materials in varied forms are fundamentally required for the initiation of any industry. The farms, mines, forests, seas etc., supply raw materials e.g. : sugarcane for sugar mills, iron-ore for Iron and steel factories, timber for saw mills, paper industry, fish from seas for fishing industries. The product of some industries may also constitute raw materials for others. e.g. : textiles are the raw materials for garment manufacturing industry. Perishable goods like food stuff need to be processed quickly. So, the industries using them have raw material location. Industries using raw materials from other industries are also located near the companies that make their raw material.

2. Water – Certain industries like Iron and Steel, thermal power generation, paper pulp, chemicals, aluminium smelting etc., require large amount of water for processing of raw material or for cooling machineries. Such industries are best located on river banks, or beside lakes where ready supply of water is available.

3. Transport – A well knit network of roadways, railways is necessary for supplying raw materials from fields to the factories or transporting the finished products from factories to the markets or ports. Cost of finished products largely depends on the cost of transportation of any product.

4. Labour – An adequate labour force is essential for the smooth running of any industry. Different types of labour are needed for any kind of industry. Persons with managerial skill for offices, semiskilled labourers ( for industries like textile, electrical, automobile, ship building etc ) and unskilled labourers for mechanical operations are needed by an industry.

5. Capital – No industry can be developed without sound financial backing. The finance may be provided by large companies, private investors or government. Capital is required for buying raw materials, promotion of finished products etc.
