Izibalo zakamuva ezivela kwi-International Aluminium Institute (IAI) zibonisa ukuthi umhlaba wonkeukukhiqizwa kwe-aluminium okuyinhlokoyayimi kumathani ayizigidi ezingu-6.317 ngoJanuwari 2026, igcina umkhuba wokukhula oqhubekayo. Lesi sibalo simelela ukwanda konyaka nonyaka kusuka kumathani ayizigidi ezingu-6.239 ngoJanuwari 2025 kanye nokwenyuka okuncane uma kuqhathaniswa nomkhiqizo obuyekeziwe ngoDisemba 2025 wamathani ayizigidi ezingu-6.3.

Njengomkhiqizi we-aluminium omkhulu kunabo bonke emhlabeni, iShayina inikele ngamathani ayizigidi ezingu-3.786 esibalweni somhlaba wonke ngoJanuwari, okukhuphuke kancane kusuka kumathani ayizigidi ezingu-3.775 abuyekeziwe aqoshwe ngenyanga edlule. Lokhu kukhula komkhiqizo okuzinzile kubonisa ukusebenza kokuncibilikisa okuqinile, ukusetshenziswa okuthuthukisiwe kwamandla, kanye nokunikezwa kokudla okuqhubekayo ezindaweni ezinkulu zokukhiqiza.

Ukwanda kokukhiqiza okuqhubekayo kunikeza isisekelo sezinto zokusetshenziswa ezithembekile zomkhakha wokukhiqiza nokukhiqiza i-aluminium ongezansi. Kubakhiqizi abagxile kumapuleti e-aluminium, imigoqo, amashubhu, kanye nezingxenye zomshini ezinembile, ukuhlinzekwa kwe-aluminium okuyisisekelo okuzinzile kusekela izindleko zezinto ezibikezelwayo, ukuhlela okuhle kokukhiqiza, kanye nokusebenza okuzinzile kokulethwa kwezimakethe zokusetshenziswa kokugcina okuhlanganisa ukwakhiwa, izimoto, ubunjiniyela kagesi, kanye nemishini yezimboni.

Ababukeli bemakethe baphawula ukuthi ukukhula okuncane kwanyanga zonke kuhambisana nokuguquguquka kwesidingo somhlaba wonke esilinganiselayo, okusiza ekunciphiseni ukuguquguquka okukhulu kwentengo emakethe ye-aluminium. Uma sibheka phambili, abadlali bemboni balindele ukuthi ukukhiqizwa kuzohlala kuzinzile ezinyangeni ezizayo, kusekelwa yisidingo esiqhubekayo sezimboni kanye nokwenza ngcono amandla okuqhubekayo.

Isitebeleukusatshalaliswa kwe-aluminium okuyinhlokoinsika eyinhloko yochungechunge lwenani lonke, okuvumela abakhiqizi abangaphansi ukuthi bathuthukise ikhwalithi yomkhiqizo, bandise amakhono okucubungula ngokwezifiso, futhi baqinise ukuncintisana kokubili ezimakethe zasekhaya nezamazwe ngamazwe.
