Ers hynny, mae’r sector gweithgynhyrchu wedi, ac yn parhau i, wynebu ‘storm berffaith’ o ganlyniad i nifer o heriau mawr. Ymysg yr heriau hyn mae cystadleuaeth fyd-eang, ffrwydrad technolegol, Brexit a threfniadau masnachu newydd gyda’r Undeb Ewropeaidd, pandemig COVID-19, argyfwng hinsawdd, cynnydd yng nghost ynni, oedi a achosir gan broblemau allforio sydd wedi amharu ar gadwyni cyflenwi byd-eang, prinder deunyddiau crai, cynnydd mewn prisiau a phroblemau difrifol o ran y gweithlu sydd ar gael.
Since then, the manufacturing sector has and continues to face a ‘perfect storm’ as a result of a number of major challenges, including global competition, a technology explosion, Brexit and new trading arrangements with the European Union, the COVID-19 pandemic, a climate emergency, the soaring cost of energy, delays caused by shipping problems which have disrupted global supply chains, raw material shortages, price increases and serious issues with labour availability.
