DMPQ- What are footloose industries?

Foot loose industries can be located in a wide variety of places. They are not dependent on any specific raw material, weight losing or otherwise. They largely depend on component parts which can be obtained anywhere. They produce in small quantity and also employ a small labour force. These are generally not polluting industries. The important factor in their location is accessibility. Diamonds and computer chips are some examples of footloose industries. These industries can be located at a wide variety of places, as these are neither weight-losing nor raw-material-specific.
