1. Sky‑High Unit Costs – Most overseas foundries charge 15‑30% above market due to inefficient batch sizes.
2. Inconsistent Quality – Dimensional tolerance exceeds ±0.2 mm, leading to re‑work and scrap.
3. Lengthy Lead Times – 6‑8 weeks from CAD to delivery, crippling just‑in‑time manufacturing.
4. Regulatory Risks – Missing CE, RoHS, or ISO‑9001 certifications can halt EU shipments.
5. Limited Design Flexibility – One‑size‑fits‑all molds restrict OEM/ODM innovation.
These issues together can erode profit margins by up to **37 %** per annum.
