What are the two major factors related to the growth of the above-mentioned sector?

Answer 1

• Availability of Raw Materials: Industries are often established in areas where raw resources are readily available. This saves transportation costs while ensuring a consistent supply for production. For example, iron and steel factories are positioned near iron ore and coal mines. Easy access to raw materials allows industries to grow faster.
• Presence of Transport: Efficient transportation such as roads, railways, ports, and airports is critical for the movement of raw materials and completed goods. Good transportation links industry to markets, suppliers, and other manufacturing areas. This streamlines industrial operations and promotes industrial progress.
