Factors Influencing Industrial Location

Availability of raw materials: In determining the location of an industry, nearness to sources of raw materials is of vital importance.

Availability of Labour: Adequate supply of cheap and skilled labour is necessary for the industry. The attraction of industry towards labour centres depends on the ratio of labour cost to the total cost of production which Weber calls the ‘Labour cost of Index’.

Proximity to Markets: Access to markets is an important factor which the entrepreneur must take into consideration. Industries producing perishable or bulky commodities which cannot be transported over long distances are generally located in close proximity to markets.

Industries located near the markets could be able to reduce the costs of transport in distributing the finished product as in the case of bread and bakery, ice, tins, cans manufacturing, etc. Accessibility of markets is more important in the case of industries manufacturing consumer goods rather than producer goods.

Transport Facilities: Transport facilities, generally, influence the location of the industry. Transportation with its three modes, i.e., water, road, and rail collectively plays an important role. So the junction points of waterways, roadways and railways become humming centres of industrial activity.

Further, the modes and rates of transport and transport policy of the Government considerably affect the location of industrial units. The heavy concentration of the cotton textile industry in Bombay has been due to the cheap and excellent transportation network both in regard to raw materials and markets.

Power: Another factor influencing the location of an industry is the availability of cheap power. Water, wind, coal, gas, oil and electricity are the chief sources of power. Both water and wind power were widely sought as sources of power supply before the invention of the steam engine.

During the nineteenth century, nearness to coal fields became the principal locating influence on the setting up of new industries, particularly, heavy industries. With the introduction of other sources of power like electricity, gas, oil, etc. the power factor became more flexible leading to the dispersal and decentralization of industries.
