10 Types of Product Risk

 , updated on
Product risk is the potential for losses related to the marketing of a product or service. It is managed using a standard risk management process of identifying, treating, controlling and monitoring risk as part of product development or product management. The following are common types of product risk.

Demand Risk

Failure to generate demand for a product launch and other risks related to demand.

Operational Risk

Operational risk such as a delayed product launch due to production issues.

Price Risk

Price risks such as a new product launch that sparks a price war with a competitor.

Customer Experience

Customer experience issues such as a product with poor usability.

Quality Risk

Poor quality. This can occur due to requirements, non-functional requirements, design, testing or quality control failures.

Brand Risk

A product that reflects poorly on your brand. This can occur due to customer experience and quality issues. Alternatively, it can be a product that simply doesn't appeal to your customers such that it impacts your brand image. For example, a snowboarding brand that alienates customers with a line of ski wear.

Inventory Risk

Problems with inventory such as shortages in one channel and excess inventory issues in another.

Reputation

Damage to your reputation as a firm due to a failed product and resulting publicity.

Compliance & Regulations

A product that is deemed to violate laws, regulations or standards. In some cases, a product can attract new regulations if it is perceived to damage markets, the environment or quality of life.

Product Liability

Failures of a product that cause damages such as an unsafe product that results in injuries.
