Insipho ihlala ingenye yezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu ezihamba phambili ekuthuthukisweni komnotho womhlaba kanye nengqalasizinda. Amandla ayo angaphezu kokuvamile, ukusebenza kwayo okuhlukahlukene, kanye nokonga kwayo kwenza kube yinto eyisidingo ekwakhiweni, ekwenziweni kwezimoto, emishinini, kanye nezinye izimboni eziningi. Ngo-2023, isimo sokukhiqizwa kwensipho siqhubeka nokubumba izimakethe zomhlaba kanye nokuthonya izikhungo ezinamandla kwezomnotho. Lesi sihloko sihlose ukuhlinzeka ngokubuka konke okubanzi kwabakhiqizi bensipho abakhulu emhlabeni ngo-2023, sihlaziya izibalo zokukhiqiza, izitayela zemakethe, kanye nokubheka esikhathini esizayo. Ukuqonda lezi zimo kubalulekile kumabhizinisi nababambiqhaza ababandakanyeka ochungechungeni lokuhlinzekwa kwensipho kanye nemikhakha ehlobene.

Imboni yensimbi yomhlaba wonke ibuswa amazwe ambalwa okuvelisa kwawo kudlula kakhulu amanye. Phambili kulapho iChina, ehamba phambili futhi iyizwe elikhiqiza insimbi kakhulu emhlabeni. Ngo-2023, ukukhiqizwa kwensimbi eluhlaza yaseChina kwadlula amathani ayizigidi eziyi-1.1, okwenza cishe u-55% wokukhiqizwa komhlaba wonke ngokusho kwedatha evela kuWorld Steel Association. Leli nani elikhulu libonisa ukukhula okukhulu kweChina ekwenzeni insimbi kanye nendima yayo ebalulekile ezintanjeni zokuhlinzekwa komhlaba wonke.

I-India iqhubeka nokukhuphuka kwayo ngokushesha njengelinye lamazwe akhiqiza insimbi kakhulu, lapho ukukhiqizwa kufinyelela amathani ayizigidi ezingu-125 ngo-2023. Ngenxa yokwanda kwesidingo sasekhaya kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali kwengqalasizinda, imboni yensimbi yase-India ilungele ukwanda okuqhubekayo. Abakhiqizi abakhulu njenge-Tata Steel kanye ne-Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) bahola leli thuba.

I-Japan, ngokwesiko ibe ngumdlali onamandla emkhakheni wensimbi, yakhiqiza amathani ayizigidi ezingu-90 ensimbi ngo-2023. Naphezu kokubhekana nezinselelo ezifana nengqalasizinda esagugayo kanye nokwanda kokuncintisana, i-Japan igcina isikhundla esiqinile ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusha nemikhiqizo yensimbi esezingeni eliphezulu.

I-United States yakhiqiza amathani ayizigidi ezingu-80 ensimbi ngo-2023, nabadlali ababalulekile abafaka i-Nucor Corporation kanye ne-United States Steel Corporation. Imboni yase-U.S. igxile kakhulu ezinhlotsheni zensimbi ezithuthukisiwe ukuze isetshenziselwe imikhakha yezimoto, yokwakha, kanye neyokukhiqiza amandla.

I-South Korea neGermany nazo zinikela kakhulu ekukhiqizweni kwensimbi emhlabeni wonke, ngokukhiqiza okungaba izigidi ezingu-70 nezimayelana nezimayelana nezimayelana nezimayelana nezimayelana

Abakhiqizi abasafufusa njengeBrazil benyuse kancane imiqulu yabo yokukhiqiza, manje sebedlula izigidi ezingu-35 zama-metric tons ngonyaka. Ukukhula kweBrazil kubonisa amathrendi amakhulu ezimbonini eLatin America kanye nokutshalwa kwezimali ezitshalweni zensimbi zesimanje.

Amanye amazwe abalulekile ahlanganisa iRussia, iTurkey, ne-Italy, ngalinye linikela ngamathani ayizigidi ezingu-20 kuye ku-30 zensimbi. Ngokuhlanganyela, la mazwe adlala izindima ezibalulekile ezimakethe ezifunda kanye nemigudu yokuhweba yomhlaba wonke.

Imboni yensimbi ngo-2023 ibonakala ngokuncintisana okunamandla, ukuthuthuka kobuchwepheshe, kanye nokushintsha kwezimakethe. Ubukhosi beChina buqhubeka nokuba nomthelela omkhulu, hhayi nje ngobuningi kodwa futhi ngokushayela izinto ezintsha emikhiqizweni yobuchwepheshe kanye nezinqubo zokuzinza. Amandla ezwe okukhiqiza insimbi ngobuningi ngezindleko ezincintisanayo akwenza abanye abakhiqizi bathuthukise ukusebenza kahle.

Ngaleso sikhathi, ukukhula kweNdiya kubonisa umthelela wezomnotho ezithuthukayo ekufuneni kwensimbi emhlabeni kanye nokukhiqizwa kwayo. Ukutshalwa kwezimali emandleni asekhaya kanye neziphakamiso zikahulumeni njenge-"Make in India" kusiza lokhu kukhula. Amanye amazwe afana neJapan, i-U.S., kanye neJalimani agxila emikhiqizweni yensimbi enenani elingeziwe, esebenzisa izinqubo zokukhiqiza ezithuthukile ukuze igcine ukuncintisana.

Izinkinga zokusimama kanye nemithetho yezemvelo ngokukhula kuyalolonga izindlela zokukhiqiza emhlabeni wonke. Abakhiqizi abahamba phambili bamukela ubuchwepheshe bensimbi eluhlaza futhi bathuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kwamandla ukunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni. Lo mkhuba kulindeleke ukuthi usheshise eminyakeni ezayo, uthinta izabelo zemakethe kanye nokuhamba kwezimali.

Ukubonisa imikhuba yokukhiqiza insimbi kubalulekile ukuqonda ubukhulu nokusabalala kokukhiqizwa emhlabeni wonke. Ama-infographics aqhathanisa ukukhiqizwa unyaka nonyaka kusuka ngo-2020 kuya ku-2023 agcizelela ukukhula okuqhubekayo kweChina, ukukhuphuka okusheshayo kweNdiya, kanye nokuzinza okuhlobene noma ukukhula okuncane kwabakhiqizi abavuthiwe njengeJapan ne-U.S. Amamephu okusabalala esifunda agcizelela ukubusa kwesifunda sase-Asia-Pacific, esakha ngaphezu kuka-70% wokukhiqizwa kwensimbi emhlabeni wonke.

Izibalo ezibalulekile ezivela emithonjeni egunyaziwe njengeWorld Steel Association zinikeza izindinganiso eziwusizo. Ngokwesibonelo, ukukhiqizwa kwensimbi eluhlaza emhlabeni wonke ngo-2023 kufinyelele amathani ayizigidi ezi-2, okubonisa ukwanda kancane kusukela eminyakeni edlule naphezu kokungaqiniseki komnotho. Lezi zinsiza ezibonakalayo zenza ukuqonda kube sobala kakhulu ekuhleleni ibhizinisi kanye nokwenza izinqumo zamasu.

Ukusetshenziswa kwensimbi kuxhunyaniswe kakhulu nemikhakha efana nokwakhiwa, izimoto, imishini, kanye nengqalasizinda yamandla. Umkhakha wokwakha uhlala ungumthengi omkhulu, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezithuthukayo ngokushesha. Ngo-2023, izomnotho ezisafufusa ziyaqhubeka nokushayela isidingo, zikhuthaza ukutshalwa kwezimali okwengeziwe emandleni okukhiqiza insimbi.

Abakhiqizi bezimoto badinga kakhulu izinhlobo zensimbi eziqinile, ezilula ukuze bahlangane namazinga okonga uphethiloli nokuphepha. Lesi sifiso sikhuthaza ubuhlakani nokuhlukahluka kwemikhiqizo yensimbi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amaphrojekthi wamandla avuselelekayo, okuhlanganisa nezimboni zamandla omoya kanye nengqalasizodumo zezimoto zikagesi, aba abasebenzisi ababalulekile bezigaba zensimbi ezikhethekile.

Izibikezelo zibonisa ukuthi isidingo sensimbi emhlabeni wonke sizokwanda kancane kancane emashumini eminyaka alandelayo, sisekelwa ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda, ukwanda kwemizi, kanye nentuthuko yezobuchwepheshe. Abakhiqizi abagxile emikhiqizweni yensimbi eqhubeka nokuba khona kanye nenani eliphezulu kulindeleke ukuthi bathole izinzuzo zokuncintisana.

Abakhiqizi bensimbi abakhulu emhlabeni ngo-2023 badlala indima enkulu ekubumbeni umnotho womhlaba kanye nesimo sezimboni. I-China ihamba phambili kakhulu, ilandelwa izindondo ezisencane njenge-India kanye nabaholi asebekhona njenge-Japan ne-U.S. Imboni yokukhiqiza insimbi iyashintsha ngezinguquko zobuchwepheshe, zemvelo, kanye nezimakethe, idinga ukushesha nokusungula okuvela kubakhiqizi.

I-Profit State International yiyona ehamba phambili kuleli hlelo, isebenzisa ubudlelwano namasu nabakhiqizi bensimbi abaphezulu emhlabeni wonke ukuhlinzeka ngemikhiqizo yensimbi esezingeni eliphezulu. Ubuchwepheshe benkampani ekungeniseni nasekuphumeni imikhiqizo yensimbi, kanye nokuzibophezela kwekhwalithi kanye nentengo yokuncintisana, kubeka njengomthombo onokwethenjelwa kumabhizinisi afuna izixazululo zensimbi ezingathembekile. Ngolwazi oluningiliziwe mayelana nokunikezwa kwemikhiqizo yabo namasevisi, vakashela ikhasi le-IMIKHIQIZO.

Ukuze uhlole imininingwane eyengeziwe futhi uhlale unolwazi ngesimo sezimboni zensimbi, sicela uvakashele ikhasi le-MAYELANA NATHI leProfit State International. Lapha, ungathola mayelana nenethiwekhi yabo ebanzi, izinqubo zokuqinisekisa ikhwalithi, kanye nokuzibophezela ekuthuthukiseni uchungechunge lokuhlinzekwa kwensimbi.

Ngemibuzo noma usizo lokuthenga, ikhasi le-XHUMANA NATHI linikeza umugqa oqondile wokuxhumana nabamele benkampani, liqinisekisa ukwesekwa okuhambisana nezidingo zakho ezihlobene nensimbi.
