Raw Material Sourcing
Dependence on consistent supply of cellulose pulp and elastic. Price volatility in imported materials may affect margins.
Regulatory Compliance
Must adhere to BIS standards for hygiene and safety. Certification delays could halt operations.
Market Competition
Established brands dominate retail shelves. Differentiation through pricing or eco-friendly branding is essential.
Cash Flow Management
High upfront costs for machinery and inventory. Requires steady cash flow to avoid production halts.
Labor Skills
Need for trained operators to manage semi-automated machinery. Training costs may increase initial investment.
