US Bathroom And Kitchen Supply Chain Disrupted
According to US media reports, the disruption to the supply chain continues to have a serious impact on material prices, mbeturinat e produkteve, kostot e mallrave dhe ciklet e projektit të kuzhinës dhe banjës. Ndërsa situata aktuale mund të jetë e përkohshme, it is estimated that it will continue into next year.
Sipas sondazhit të fundit nga Shoqata Kombëtare e Ndërtuesve të Shtëpive (NAHB), the situation has deteriorated significantly “në mënyrë dramatike” since the same period last year. The impact has been wider, with shortages of bathroom fittings, pajisje shtëpiake, pllakave, cabinets and other key components used in the manufacture of refrigerators, furrat, pjatalarëse, mikrovalë, washing machines and dryers. The shortage of bathroom fittings reached 75 percent of the real estate agents surveyed, while the shortage of tiles reached 51 për qind. The most serious shortage was for household appliances, në 95%.
Material shortages are now more widespread and deeper than at any time since 1990, and the slight increase in costs has exacerbated this effect, reducing builders’ confidence in the market to its lowest level in a year.
Furnizuesit e banjove, dekorues shtëpish, shpërndarësit, real estate agents and others are facing a year-long ‘storm’ të kërkesës në rritje, shoqëruar me mungesa materiale, sfidat logjistike dhe pandemitë. While remodeling demand is soaring as vaccination rates increase and the DIY home market is fuelled by emerging lifestyles, Ndërprerjet e zinxhirit të furnizimit kanë çuar në mungesa të rënda të produkteve kryesore të ndërtimit. Në të njëjtën kohë, supply constraints are causing material costs to soar.
Sipas indeksit të fundit të tregut të kuzhinës dhe banjës (në vijim: KBMI, the US Kitchen and Bath Market Index) përpiluar nga Shoqata Kombëtare e Produkteve të Kuzhinës dhe Banjës (NKBA), John Burns Konsulencë për pasuri të paluajtshme, supply chain issues coupled with rising material prices and transportation costs are forcing an increasing number of home design companies to face longer lead times, while needing to seek alternative sources of supply and increase prices to protect margins.

Indeksi i tregut të kuzhinës dhe banjës për tremujorin e parë të vitit 2021, 45% of dealers and designers surveyed said material shortages and product pricing are impacting project lead times. 60% of manufacturing facilities surveyed noted average lead times of six weeks or more, një rritje të ndjeshme krahasuar me tremujorin e mëparshëm.

Ndërkohë, 67% of real estate vendors surveyed noted that work had been backlogged for more than three months, dhe 21% noted that the backlog would continue until the end of 2021.
Ndërkohë, US-based factories are beginning to add capacity and restructure their supply chains. In June this year, it was reported that DEVIDA Bathrooms announced that it would “prioritizoni” certain brands of products while suspending production of other ranges. The company said that this situation was expected to continue until the fourth quarter of 2021, and noted that while no new orders would be taken during this period, existing orders would not be affected by the decision.
In addition to the US, Germany is also facing a supply chain disruption crisis. The German Bavarian plumbing and bathroom industry is already experiencing shortages of steel and brass, starting with wood and plastic. In just one year, the price of insulation boards has risen by 10%. Steel has risen by 30 percent and roofing sheets by 31 për qind. And the global price of copper has risen by 80 percent in the last 12 muaj.
In addition to delivery problems, a shortage of skilled workers is also affecting the construction industry. Recruiting skilled workers, including in China, has become the biggest difficulty in recruiting workers.
