OEMs switched suppliers in 2023 to protect margins as RV wholesale shipments fell about 18% year-over-year. Lippert's brand and quality help, but price-sensitive buyers may defect in downturns, so the company must push product innovation and cut costs-Lippert reported a 2024 gross margin near 22%-to avoid share erosion in commoditized categories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-2_new_design\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/SWOT-Content-Threats-Image.svg\" alt=\"Explore a Preview\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/SWOT-Content-Threats-Storm-Icon-Color-1.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDisruptions in Global Supply Chains\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeopolitical tensions and logistics bottlenecks can halt flow of metals and electronics, raising input costs-commodity shipping delays rose 34% in 2024 and global container rates spiked 18% year-over-year, driving Lippert's COGS risk.
