Economic Sensitivity Risk: Sika's performance is highly dependent on global construction and industrial production cycles, making it vulnerable to economic downturns, reduced infrastructure spending, and decreased consumer confidence which can significantly impact demand for its products.

Raw Material Price Volatility Risk: Fluctuations in the cost and availability of key raw materials, such as petrochemicals, polymers, and other specialty chemicals, can compress Sika's profit margins if increased costs cannot be fully passed on to customers through price adjustments.

Intense Competition Risk: Sika operates in highly competitive markets with numerous local and international players, leading to pricing pressures, market share challenges, and the need for continuous innovation to maintain its competitive edge and product differentiation.
