比这更严重,转帖一段CC对此的抱怨:
It has everything to do with the price to neodymium. The price has nearly tripled in the past 6 months. A very large percentage of the cost in our motors is in the raw material of neodymium. Companies that make inexpensive motors tend to use much less of the material, so their costs have not increased as dramatically. Rare earth minerals in general have been rising across the board. I would expect everyone's motor prices to increase in the very near future.
Without getting too much into international politics and economics, when a country produces 97% of a particular material in high demand and they cut production by 35%, prices are going to soar; and anyone dependent on that material is going to suffer greatly. We held out as long as we could in raising prices, but it has simply become too much to absorb and a price increase was inevitable. As long as neodymium prices stay high, don't expect prices to come down any time soon. We were priced very competitively compared to other manufacturer's of the same quality, now our prices tend to be more in line with our competitors.
还有:
Well, it's actually much worse than that...
The price has tripled since January. But it tripled between June 2010 and January 2011 also. So today, the cost is well over 1000% higher than a year ago.
June 2010 : $38/kilo
June 2011: $420/kilo
And that's just for the raw material.
还不止于此,钕磁体的报价时效已经从一个月缩短到一周,据说现在是一天...... 就是说,睡了一觉,明天的价格就要再谈........ |
