Imakethe ye-aluminium eyinhloko yomhlaba wonke ibone ukwanda okuncane ekukhiqizweni ngoNovemba 2025, lapho umkhiqizo ufinyelela amathani ayizigidi ezingu-6.086, ngokusho kokukhishwa kwakamuva okuvela kwi-International Aluminium Institute (IAI). Lezi zibalo zibonisa ibhalansi ebucayi phakathi kwemikhawulo yokunikezwa, ukuguquguquka kwezindleko zamandla, kanye namaphethini esidingo aguqukayo emikhakheni ebalulekile yezimboni.

Uma kuqhathaniswa, emhlabeni jikeleleukukhiqizwa kwe-aluminium okuyinhlokoyayimi kumathani ayizigidi ezingu-6.058 ngoNovemba 2024, okubonisa ukwanda okuncane konyaka nonyaka cishe okungu-0.46%. Kodwa-ke, umkhiqizo kaNovemba 2025 umele ukwehla okuphawulekayo kusuka esibalweni esibuyekeziwe samathani ayizigidi ezingu-6.292 esibhalwe ngo-Okthoba 2025, okubonisa ukwehla kwesikhashana ngemuva kwamazinga okukhiqiza aphezulu enyangeni edlule. Lokhu kuncipha kwenyanga nenyanga kubangelwa ukuvalwa kokulungiswa okuhleliwe emishinini emikhulu yokuncibilikisa eMpumalanga Ephakathi naseYurophu, kanye nezinselele eziqhubekayo zokuphakelwa kukagesi ezingxenyeni zaseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia.

Ngokwesifunda, iShayina, umkhiqizi we-aluminium omkhulu kunabo bonke emhlabeni, igcine isikhundla sayo sokubusa, inegalelo elikhulu engqikithini yomhlaba wonke ngokukhiqiza kwayo ngoNovemba okungamathani ayizigidi ezingu-3.792 (njengoba kubikwe ngaphambilini yi-National Bureau of Statistics yaseShayina). Lokhu kugcizelela indima ehlala njalo yeShayina ekwakheni ukuguquguquka kokuhlinzekwa komhlaba wonke, ngisho noma imikhawulo yamandla asekhaya kanye nemithethonqubo yezemvelo iyaqhubeka nokuthonya izindlela zokukhiqiza.

Kwabakhiqizi abangochwepheshe bemikhiqizo eqediwe kancane ye-aluminium njengamapuleti,imigoqo, amashubhu, kanye nezingxenye ezenziwe ngomshini onembile,idatha yakamuva yokukhiqiza yomhlaba wonke inemiphumela ebalulekile. Ukukhula okuncane konyaka nonyaka kokuhlinzekwa kwe-aluminium okuyinhloko kusiza ekunciphiseni ukuguquguquka kwezindleko zezinto zokusetshenziswa, kuyilapho ukwehla kwenyanga nenyanga kugcizelela isidingo sokuphathwa kwempahla okunesu ukuze kulungiswe ukuphazamiseka okungenzeka kochungechunge lokuhlinzekwa.

Njengoba imboni ingena enyangeni yokugcina ka-2025, ababambiqhaza emakethe baqapha ngokucophelela izikhathi zokuqalisa kabusha i-smelter kanye nezimpawu zokufunwa ezivela emikhakheni yezimoto, yokwakha, kanye nezindiza, abasebenzisi ababalulekile be-ama-aluminium alloys kanye nemikhiqizo ye-aluminium ecutshunguliwe.Umbiko wokukhiqiza wanyanga zonke we-IAI usebenza njengophawu olubalulekile lwamabhizinisi olulungisa amasu awo okuthenga nokukhiqiza ukuze aphendule ezindleleni zokuphakelwa komhlaba wonke.
