Therefore, the present study has used a systematic review of the literature with the aim of studying &summarizing the research literature in the field of local content, identifying research gaps &presenting suggestions in this field. By examining the keywords in the databases of this field &based on pre-determined criteria, appropriate articles were selected &the content of the articles were carefully studied &analyzed based on the answers to the questions of the present study. The results showed; Market stability &size, design &comprehensiveness of policies, industrial capabilities, social, cultural, economic &symbolic capital, government support &competitive incentives are the main factors for the effectiveness of local content in domestic industrial development.
