Region Factors: The region factors include the market attractiveness of region, availability of utilities and labor, access to raw material, development of infrastructure, cost of land and construction, safety, and rules of the town etc.

Local Factors: The third factor which may impact the location decision include the local factors like Site size and cost, access to distribution system, and zonal restrictions etc.
