Write short notes on Footloose industries.

Answer»
  • Footloose industry is a general term for an industry that can be placed and located at any location without effect of factors of location such as land, labour, climate and capital.
  • The raw material used as well as finished products of these industries are very light so their location near the source of raw material or transport is not important.
  • These industries often have spatially fixed cost, which means that costs of the product do not change despite where the product is assembled.
  • Diamond cutting, computer chips and mobiles manufacturing are some of the examples of footloose industries.
  • Advance technology like internet, email are used for raw material as well as marketing.
  • These are generally non-polluted industries.
