Commodity prices increase in global markets put manufacturers in difficulties in terms of costs.

General 1 March 2022

Supply chain disruptions, which started with the Cov-19 Virus, brought along an aggressive purchasing policy for companies. In this period, when quarantines increased and factories limited their working hours, these purchases made for stock keeping had an impact on raw material price increases. When we came to February 2022, the global markets were once again shaken by the relations between Russia and Ukraine, and EMTIA prices showed a great increase. Especially the increases in Nickel and Energy prices have greatly affected many companies in the production sector and have caused uncertainty in pricing policies for the future.
