There is no consensus: economists from all over the world admit they have no answers and the only truth is that we are experiencing a situation of inflation that was very difficult to foresee.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this structural crisis in the industrial supply chain, Epidor SRT has managed to maintain our usual stock and service levels.

This crisis in the industrial market is the result of a perfect storm resulting from a confluence of demand and supply factors, as well as financial variables.<\/p>\n<p>The big problem we are facing is the imbalance between demand and supply that has appeared in 2021 in the industrial market. While activity is recovering, raw material supplying companies continue to have reduced or even stopped production for various reasons. In addition, the boom in demand and mobility restrictions due to COVID-19 collapsed global logistics and this situation has not yet been decongested.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some enlightening graphs on the evolution of rubber and transport prices in recent times.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17331\" src=\"https:\/\/epidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/epidor-srt-situacion-del-mercado-grafico11-1.jpg\" alt=\"Transportation Cost Graph\" width=\"500\" height=\"429\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17334\" src=\"https:\/\/epidor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/epidor-srt-situacion-del-mercado-grafico12-1.jpg\" alt=\"Epidor SRT Market Situation Graph\" width=\"480\" height=\"402\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mantenemos_estable_el_nivel_de_stock_y_servicios\"><\/span>We maintain a stable level of stock and services<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As a result of the above, raw material prices have increased by as much as 40% in some cases, and lead times have become months instead of weeks. Currently, due to the closure of some plants, it is extremely difficult to find some raw materials such as silicone or FKM. We have no visibility of what will happen in 3 months' time, but the forecasts are not optimistic. In this situation, although we also suffer, having a high and stable stock, in addition to a local production and first level suppliers is a guarantee of continuity of service. At Epidor Seals &amp; Rubber Technology we are fortunate to have a close relationship with our suppliers and after arduous negotiations we can say that we have a large stock of sealing solutions for industry.<\/p>\n<p>More than ever, collaboration with our customers is key. Only an accurate forecast of their needs will allow us to ensure continuity of service, and as long as the situation allows, we will continue to work so that our customers can continue their activities without experiencing supply outages.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00bfVolver\u00e1 el mercado industrial a adoptar las mismas formas que aquellas que acostumbraba a tener antes de la crisis sanitaria COVID-19?
