First impact
Cold-Rolled Stainless Steel Flat Products →Prices riseVietnam's anti-dumping measures make imported cold-rolled stainless steel more expensive or less available, and grills & outdoor cooking are highly dependent on this input.
86% confidenceCold-Rolled Stainless Steel Flat Products →Prices riseThe duty shock raises the cost of a critical stainless-steel input, which should feed through to home appliance manufacturing costs.
84% confidenceCold-Rolled Stainless Steel Flat Products →Prices riseCookware and kitchen tools use stainless steel intensively, so higher imported input costs in Vietnam should lift their production costs.
Hop 2
Grills & outdoor cooking →DelaysSteel & Grate Production
Because grills are highly dependent on cold-rolled stainless steel flat products, the steel/grate production step is the most directly slowed by the import restriction and higher input cost.
84% confidenceGrills & outdoor cooking →DelaysFabrication
Tighter or pricier stainless-steel supply raises fabrication lead times for grill parts and reduces throughput in the manufacturing line.
75% confidenceGrills & outdoor cooking →DelaysAssembly
When upstream steel-intensive subcomponents arrive later or in smaller quantities, final grill assembly is delayed as well.

Brushless DC (BLDC) Electric Motors →Prices riseGMCC / Welling (Midea Group)000333.SZ
Its 33% share and 12-month replacement lead time make the company highly exposed to higher BLDC-motor production costs.
74% confidenceBrushless DC (BLDC) Electric Motors →Prices riseTechtronic Industries (TTI)0669.HK
Its 22% share of BLDC-motor demand and 9-month replacement lead time imply notable input-cost pressure.

GMCC / Welling (Midea Group) →Shortage riskGMCC/Welling is a major supplier in this market (40% share), so a production constraint from the stainless-steel shock would make hermetic compressors scarcer, with long replacement time limiting substitution.
69% confidenceGMCC / Welling (Midea Group) →Shortage riskBrushless DC (BLDC) Electric Motors
With roughly one-third market share, a GMCC/Welling output constraint would tighten BLDC motor supply and create shortages before alternative suppliers can fully replace it.
