Abstract: We show that if $Y_{j}subsetmathbb{C}^{n_j}$ is a bounded strongly convex domain with $C^3$-boundary for $j=1,dots,q$, and $X_{j}subsetmathbb{C}^{m_j}$ is a bounded convex domain for $j=1,ldots,p$, then the product domain $pro{d}_{j=1}^p{X}_{j}subsetmathbb{C}^m$ cannot be isometrically embedded into $pro{d}_{j=1}^q{Y}_{j}subsetmathbb{C}^n$ under the Kobayashi distance, if $p>q$. This result generalises Poincar'e's theorem which says that there is no biholomorphic map from the polydisc onto the Euclidean ball in $mathbb{C}^n$ for $ngeq2$. The method of proof only relies on the metric geometry of the spaces and will be derived from a result for products of proper geodesic metric spaces with the sup-metric. In fact, the main goal of the paper is to establish a general criterion, in terms of certain asymptotic geometric properties of the individual metric spaces, that yields an obstruction for the existence of an isometric embedding between product metric spaces.
