Ukukhula kwesidingo sePlatinamu kuzoqhutshwa ukusetshenziswa okuphezulu kwama-catalysts anesisindo semoto enamandla kanye nokusetshenziswa okuningana kwePlatinamu (esikhundleni sePalladium) ephepheni ama-autocatalysts, kubhala uJohnson Matthey.
"Ukuhlinzekwa kwePlatinamu eNingizimu Afrika kuzokuwela ngo-9% njengokugcinwa nokukhiqizwa kwezitshalo ezimbili ezinkulu kakhulu ze-PGM zamanzi ezinkingweni zishaywe yizinkampani ezisebenzayo. Amazinga azothenga amanani entengo engajwayelekile yeplatinamu. Amazinga azothenga imali enkulu yeplatinamu.
"I-Palladium ne-Rhodium Makets ingabuya ku-Deficit ngo-2022, ngokusho kombiko kaJohnson Matthey, njengoba izimpahla ezivela eSouth Africa zincipha kanye nokuhlinzekwa okuvela eRussia ebungozini.
Amanani ezinsimbi zombili zaqhubeka ziqinile ezinyangeni ezine zokuqala zakwa-2022, ekhuphuka i-Palladium ziye kwirekhodi eliphakeme kakhulu elingaphezu kwama- $ 3,300 ngoMashi njengoba ukukhathazeka okuthe xaxa kukhule, kubhala uJohnson Matthey.
UJohnson Matthey uxwayise ngokuthi amanani aphezulu e-Platinum Group Metals aphoqelele ama-Chinese automakers ukwenza imali enkulu. Isibonelo, iPalladium iya ngokuya ithathelwa indawo ephepheni ama-autocatalysts, nezinkampani zengilazi zisebenzisa i-rhodium encane.
URupen Raitata, umqondisi ocwaningisiya ocwaningweni eJohnson Matthey, uxwayise leso sidingo sizoqhubeka sibuthaka.
“We expect weaker auto production in 2022 to contain growth in demand for platinum group metals. In recent months, we have seen repeated downward revisions to auto production forecasts due to semiconductor shortages and supply chain disruptions,” Raitata said. "Ukuqhubeka kwehleliwe kungenzeka kulandele, ikakhulukazi eChina, lapho amanye amafektri ezenzakalelayo evalelwe ngo-Ephreli ngenxa yesimo sezulu esibi, ukushoda kwamandla, ukuvala ukuphepha kanye nokuphazamiseka kwabasebenzi ngezikhathi ezithile."
