1. Sky‑high material cost – Many OEMs still rely on outdated single‑cavity molds that waste up to 15 % of silicone per batch.
2. Inconsistent wall thickness – Variation beyond ±0.12 mm leads to 30 % higher scrap rates in medical‑grade components.
3. Slow delivery cycles – Average lead‑time from order to shipment exceeds 45 days, jeopardising product‑to‑market schedules.
4. Expensive freight – Shipping bulk silicone sheets from China adds US$2,500–4,000 per container, inflating total cost of ownership.
5. Regulatory compliance gaps – Missing CE, FDA, or ISO certifications can stall customs clearance and cause costly re‑work.
According to the Grand View Research LSR market report (2023), the global market will reach USD 4.97 bn by 2030 – a clear sign that demand for efficient thermo forming is exploding. If you’re still battling the above pain points, you risk losing market share to faster, cheaper competitors.
