== '''<u>Risks and Challenges</u>''' == '''Product Safety Issues:''' Mattel has faces issues related to call backs in the past but it has since bounced back from this issue by maintaining strong communications and having a generous compensation program '''Supply Chain Disruption:''' increasing raw material and labour costs have led to Mattel having to increase their prices. Some retailers are struggling with their inventory leading to cut backs on toy orders '''Changing Regulatory Environments:''' The toy industry is subject to numerous regulations, especially concerning product safety, labeling, and environmental standards. As regulations evolve or change in different countries and regions, Mattel must stay up-to-date and adapt its manufacturing processes and product designs accordingly. Non-compliance with regulatory requirements could result in fines, recalls, or even legal action. '''Economic Factors:''' Economic fluctuations, inflation, or currency exchange rate changes can impact consumer spending on discretionary items like toys. During economic downturns, consumers may cut back on non-essential purchases, affecting Mattel's sales and revenue. '''Sustainability and Environmental Concerns''': As consumer awareness of environmental issues increases, companies like Mattel are under pressure to improve sustainability practices. Consumers may favor eco-friendly and responsibly sourced products, and failure to meet these expectations can result in reputational damage. Historically Mattel has shown a mixed ability to adapt to changes including declining sales and changed in consumer preferences. They've made efforts to adapt by focusing on product innovation, expansion of product portfolio and leveraging popular franchises and licenses to attract customers. Mattel has shown interest in exploring digital initiatives to stay relevant in a tech driven world like digital gaming and films. __INDEX__
