- Increased inventory awaiting clearance in the first half of 2023.
- Pressure due to changes in heat pump policies in Europe.
- Potential losses if increased customer demand doesn't support plant expansion costs.
- Increased operating costs in new business development.
- Raw material procurement risks due to concentration in few suppliers.
- Climate change risks (extreme weather, regulations, market shifts).
