Ngonyaka inkampani egubha ngawo iminyaka eyi-100 yayo, imali engenayo yokuthengisa kanye nokusebenza kweShimano ifinyelele irekhodi laso sonke isikhathi, eliqhutshwa kakhulu yibhizinisi layo embonini yamabhayisikili/amabhayisikili. Kuyo yonke inkampani, ukuthengisa ngonyaka odlule kukhuphuke ngo-44.6% ngaphezu kuka-2020, kanti imali engenayo yokusebenza ikhuphuke ngo-79.3%. Esigabeni samabhayisikili, ukuthengiswa okuphelele kukhuphuke ngo-49.0% kwaya ku-$3.8 billion kanti imali engenayo yokusebenza ikhuphuke ngo-82.7% yaya ku-$1.08 billion. Ukwanda okukhulu kwenzeke engxenyeni yokuqala yonyaka, lapho ukuthengiswa kuka-2021 kuqhathaniswa nengxenye yokuqala yonyaka wobhubhane lapho eminye imisebenzi ima khona.
Kodwa-ke, ngisho noma kuqhathaniswa neminyaka yangaphambi kobhubhane, ukusebenza kweShimano ngo-2021 kwakumangalisa. Ukuthengiswa kwamabhayisikili ngo-2021 kukhuphuke ngo-41% ngaphezu kuka-2015, unyaka wayo odlule oqopha umlando, isibonelo. Isidingo samabhayisikili aphakathi kuya kwasezingeni eliphezulu sihlale sisezingeni eliphezulu ngenxa yokwanda kwamabhayisikili emhlabeni jikelele, okubangelwe ukusabalala kwe-COVID-19, kodwa ezinye izimakethe zaqala ukuzinza engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka wezimali ka-2021.
Emakethe yaseYurophu, isidingo esikhulu samabhayisikili nemikhiqizo ehlobene namabhayisikili saqhubeka, sisekelwa yizinqubomgomo zikahulumeni zokukhuthaza amabhayisikili ngenxa yokwanda kokuqwashisa ngemvelo. Izitoko zemakethe zamabhayisikili aqediwe zahlala zisezingeni eliphansi naphezu kwezimpawu zokuthuthuka.
Emakethe yaseNyakatho Melika, ngenkathi isidingo samabhayisikili siqhubeka nokuba phezulu, izinto ezithengiswa emakethe, ezigxile kumabhayisikili asezingeni lokuqala, zaqala ukusondela emazingeni afanele.
Ezimakethe zase-Asia naseNingizimu Melika, ukukhula kwezimoto zokugibela amabhayisikili kubonise izimpawu zokuphola engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka wezimali ka-2021, futhi uhlu lwezimoto emakethe lwamabhayisikili asezingeni lokuqala lufinyelele emazingeni afanele. Kodwa ezinye zezimoto ezithuthukisiweibhayisikili lasezintabeniuhlanya luyaqhubeka.
Kunokukhathazeka ngokuthi umnotho womhlaba wonke uzosindwa ukusabalala kokutheleleka kwezinhlobo ezintsha, ezithelelanayo kakhulu, nokuthi ukushoda kwama-semiconductor kanye nezingxenye ze-elekthronikhi, ukukhuphuka kwamanani ezinto zokusetshenziswa, ukuqina kwempahla, ukushoda kwabasebenzi, kanye nezinye izinkinga kungase kube kubi kakhulu. Kodwa-ke, kulindeleke ukuthi intshisekelo emisebenzini yokuzilibazisa yangaphandle engagwema ukuminyana kwabantu iqhubeke.
