Political Factors- Before deciding whether to grow, the low-calorie food market should carefully examine the tax laws that apply to the industry. Tax policies will be more advantageous to sectors that the government views as priority priorities. In an effort to attract foreign direct investment, the governments of many developing countries are actively seeking to reduce company taxes. These countries should be considered in the low-calorie food market because they have low tax rates that will make it easier to make money and invest in R&D, innovation, and new product development initiatives.

Economic Factors- Strong positive correlation between financial market efficiency and overall economic growth allows for capital accumulation and the production of goods and services. The low-calorie food market must choose countries with extremely efficient financial markets so that it may quickly collect financial and human capital. By monitoring the effectiveness of the financial market, it may be possible for the low-calorie food market to successfully stay one step ahead of the competition. Rising inflation may negatively affect the ability of the low-calorie food market to increase its revenue since it diminishes the purchasing power of money and discourages consumers from making purchases of products and services.

Social Factors- Two key social traits that may have an impact on the commercial, marketing, and human resource management strategies for the low-calorie food market are respect for hierarchy and social class stratification. The low-calorie food market feels most at ease in hierarchical systems with formal work cultures when visiting countries with large power distances. Increased social stratification is another sign of the need for effective market segmentation strategies because the low-calorie food market cannot target many different categories from different social classes using the same marketing mix.

Technological Factors- The rate and advancement of technological innovation can have an impact on the market and industry as a whole. By studying the forthcoming trends in technological innovation, the low-calorie food market will be able to comprehend the rate of new product development, the length of the product life cycle, and the distinctive features consumers prefer. By analysing consumer opinions about cutting-edge, new digital technology, the low-calorie food market can assess whether moving to e-commerce will be more advantageous than opening a physical site. If competitors use automation technology to reduce costs, the low-calorie food market may be driven to convert from manual to automated processes—especially if the general populace is technologically literate.

Environmental Factors- Due to stringent environmental legislation in many different nations, businesses are under pressure to reduce environmental impact. Because failing to do so could lead to harsh, reputation-damaging criticism from relevant stakeholders, the low-calorie food market should adopt ethical production methods in response, encourage ethical consumption among its target market, work to improve its brand's sustainable reputation, and ensure full compliance with local and international environmental laws. Laws may require businesses with high rubbish production to govern their environmental practises.

Legal Factors- In many countries, there are numerous federal and state laws in place to protect consumers from potential economic exploitation. In the era of information technology, laws have become considerably stricter to safeguard consumer privacy. In order to avoid lawsuits, the low-calorie food market must rigorously adhere to data privacy regulations when conducting online transactions. Before entering new markets, the low-calorie food market must examine regional laws governing returns, discounts, credit terms, quality, misleading advertising, and maximum pricing (particularly in the case of basic essential goods).
