Izimo zamanje zemakethe yensimbi zihlanganisa ukululama okuhamba kancane kodwa okuqhubekayo. Isidingo sensimbi yomhlaba wonke sibikezelwa ukuthi sizokhula futhi onyakeni ozayo, nakuba amanani enzalo aphezulu kanye neminye imithelela yamazwe ngamazwe—kanye nesiteleka sabasebenzi bezimoto base-United States e-Detroit, e-Mich.—iqhubeka ibangela ukushintshashintsha kwesidingo namanani athinta ikusasa lemboni yensimbi.
Imboni yensimbi iyinduku yokulinganisa ebalulekile emnothweni womhlaba. Ukuwohloka komnotho kwakamuva kwase-US, amazinga aphezulu okwehla kwamandla emali, nezinkinga ze-supply chain, ekhaya nasemhlabeni wonke, yizici ezinkulu zalokho okwenzekayo emakethe yensimbi, nakuba zingabonakali zikulungele ukuphazamisa ukuthuthuka okukhulayo kwamazwe amaningi okufunwa kwensimbi namazinga okukhula atholwe kuze kube u-2023.
Kulandela ukuphindaphindeka ngo-2.3% ngo-2023, i-World Steel Association (worldsteel) ibikezela ukukhula ngo-1.7% kwesidingo sensimbi emhlabeni wonke ngo-2024, ngokombiko wayo wakamuva we-Short Range Outlook (SRO). Nakuba ukwehla kwesivinini kulindeleke eChina, imboni yensimbi ehamba phambili emhlabeni, iningi lomhlaba lilindele ukukhula kwesidingo sensimbi. Ukwengeza, i-International Stainless Steel Forum (worldstainless) iphrojekthi ukuthi ukusetshenziswa komhlaba wonke kwensimbi engagqwali kuzokhula ngo-3.6% ngo-2024.
E-US, lapho umnotho uqhubeka khona ngemuva kobhubhane, umsebenzi wokukhiqiza wehlile, kepha ukukhula kufanele kuqhubeke emikhakheni efana nengqalasizinda yomphakathi kanye nokukhiqizwa kwamandla. Ngemuva kokwehla ngo-2.6% ngo-2022, ukusetshenziswa kwensimbi yase-US kubuye kwabuyela emuva ngo-1.3% ngo-2023 futhi kulindeleke ukuthi kukhule futhi ngo-2.5% ngo-2024.
Nokho, ukuguquguquka okungalindelekile okungase kube nomthelela omkhulu embonini yensimbi kuze kuphele unyaka kuze kube u-2024 ingxabano yabasebenzi eqhubekayo phakathi kwenyunyana ye-United Auto Workers (UAW) kanye nabakhi bezimoto “AbaBig Three”—iFord, iGeneral Motors, neStellantis.
Uma isiteleka sithatha isikhathi eside, izimoto ziba mbalwa ezikhiqizayo, okudala isidingo esincane sensimbi. Insimbi yenza ngaphezu kwesigamu sokuqukethwe kwemoto evamile, ngokusho kwe-American Iron and Steel Institute, futhi cishe u-15% wempahla yensimbi yase-US eya embonini yezimoto. Ukwehla kwesidingo sensimbi eshisiwe negoqwe ngesicaba kanye nokwehliswa kwezinsalela zensimbi ezikhiqiza izimoto kungase kubangele ukushintsha kwentengo okuphawulekayo emakethe.
Ngenxa yomthamo omkhulu wezinsimbi ezilahliwe ngokuvamile eziphuma ekwenziweni kwezimoto, ukuncipha kokukhiqizwa kanye nesidingo sensimbi ngenxa yesiteleka kungase kubangele ukwenyuka okumangalisayo kwezintengo zensimbi esele. Ngaleso sikhathi, izinkulungwane zamathani emikhiqizo engasetshenziswanga esele emakethe iholela ekwehleni kwentengo yensimbi. Ngokombiko wakamuva ovela ku-EUROMETAL, izintengo zensimbi ezigoqiwe nezishisiwe ziqale ukuba buthaka emasontweni andulela isiteleka se-UAW futhi zafinyelela amaphuzu aphansi kakhulu kusukela ekuqaleni kukaJanuwari 2023.
I-Worldsteel's SRO iphawula ukuthi ukuthengiswa kwezimoto nezimoto ezincane e-US kwehle ngo-8% ngo-2023 futhi kulindeleke ukuthi kukhuphuke ngo-7% owengeziwe ngo-2024. Kodwa-ke, akucaci ukuthi isiteleka singaba nomthelela ongakanani ekuthengisweni, ekukhiqizeni, kanye, ngenxa yalokho, nesidingo sensimbi.
