Realistically you have to pay to have a batch of your product manufactured, when your margin shrinks the break even goes up.

A lot of companies are seeing it effectively mean to continue ordering a product they have to sell much higher volume, but at higher prices which is where it’s infeasible.

They don’t want to order a bunch of products they don’t expect to sell and to take a loss, even if they increase the price.
