Returns and warranty claims also raise operating costs, and one product failure can trigger costly recalls or retailer delistings. That makes scale hard for low-capability players, while FGI Industries Ltd. can spread these fixed costs across a broader product base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-green-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eE-commerce lowers some entry barriers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-green-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eE-commerce lowers entry barriers because new brands can sell on Amazon, Walmart Marketplace, and Shopify without building a wide store network.
