Capacity constraints if demand accelerates
With strong demand from US and IKEA, existing capacity may fall short; management hinted at further capacity expansion in 2026 but no firm timeline.
Raw material price volatility
Gross margin expansion was aided by lower MMA prices; any reversal could pressure margins. Management noted difficulty in predicting beyond 2-3 months.
Customer concentration risk
Top three customers (US, IKEA, etc.) account for over 60% of business, posing concentration risk if any relationship sours.
