- ! Dependence on a small number of key suppliers for critical procurement creates vulnerability in the event of supplier failure or price increases.
- ! Revenue concentration in a few large customers means that the loss of any major account could have a material adverse impact on the business.
- ! Fluctuations in raw material prices, particularly for imported components, can directly affect margins and profitability.
- ! Changes in government regulations, import policies, or trade restrictions could adversely affect the company's ability to source materials or access markets.
