One critical factor is the hashing power of the mining hardware being utilized. More powerful hardware generally translates to faster mining times.

The overall network hash rate also plays a significant role. As the network hash rate increases, the competition among miners intensifies, making it harder to mine Bitcoins quickly.

Another determinant is the Bitcoin mining difficulty, which adjusts periodically to maintain a steady block production rate. A higher difficulty level implies a longer time required for mining.
