  • Encourages single sided development since industries with comparative advantage  develops to the neglect of others
  • Substandard and harmful products may be produced and traded leading to dilution of social welfare
  • Dumping is encouraged which discourages development of local industries
  • May lead to exploitation and colonisation
  • Promotes unproductive competition which leads to closure of infant industries
  • Presupposes the existence of leissez faire and working of price mechanism  under perfect market which are unrealistic
