Industries can be classified under the following types:-
1. Primary Industry: Primary industry includes all those activities, which are connected with the extraction and production from natural resources as well as reproduction and development of living organisms, plants. These industries may be further sub-divided as follows:
(I) Extractive Industries: These industries extract or draw out products from natural sources. Extractive industries supply some basic raw-material that are mostly the products of the soil. Products of these industries are usually transformed into many other useful goods by manufacturing industries. e.g Mining etc.
(ii) Genetic Industries: The industries remain engaged in breeding plants and animals for their use in further reproduction. For the breeding of plants, the seeds and nursery companies are typical example of genetic industries.
2. Secondary Industries: Secondary industries are concerned with using the materials, which have already been extracted at the primary stage. These industries process such materials to produce goods for final consumption or for further processing by other industrial units. Secondary industries may be further divided as follows :
(I) Manufacturing Industries: These industries are engaged in producing goods through the processing of raw materials and thus creating for utilities. Manufacturing industries may be further divided into four categories on the basis of method of operation for production :
(a) Analytical industry: Analytical industry which analyses and separates different elements from the same materials, as in the case of a oil refinery.
(b) Synthetic industry It combines various ingredients into a new products, as in the case of cement industry.
