I-National Fireworks Association (kunye namalungu ayo angaphezu kwe-1200) imele umdla wabavelisi bezinto zomlilo, abangenisi, kunye nabathengisi kwinqanaba lesizwe phambi kwabenzi bomthetho be-Federal kunye nabalawuli. Sikwakhuthaza ukhuseleko njengesiseko soshishino. I-NFA ikholelwa ekusebenziseni isayensi evakalayo ukukhuthaza ukhuseleko lwezixhobo ze-pyrotechnic, kwaye sisebenza njengelizwi lezigidi zabantu baseMelika abasebenzisa iimveliso zethu.
ICoronavirus ichaphazele abavelisi bezinto zomlilo, abangenisi, abasasazi kunye nabathengisi, kwaye ngaphandle koncedo olufanelekileyo lomthetho kunye nomthetho onokuthi uluphumelele, le ntsholongwane iya kuba nemiphumo emibi kwixesha elizayo lezinto zomlilo zika-2020 kunye namashishini amancinci angenisa, asasaza kwaye athengisa izinto zomlilo.

I-NFA, kunye neqela lethu laseWashington, DC, liyaqhubeka nokufaka ityala kwimibutho efanelekileyo yowiso-mthetho neyolawulo ukuze ithethelele ishishini lethu:
Kukho inkxalabo enkulu malunga nokuhanjiswa kwezinto zomlilo eziveliswayo nezithunyelwa eMelika zivela eTshayina. Sifuna iCongress iqinisekise ukuba amazibuko ase-US ayazifumana ezi nqanawa zeekhonteyina kwaye ibeka phambili ukuhlolwa kwayo ukuze ikhuphe iikhonteyina ngokukhawuleza.

Iifireworks ziyimveliso "ehlala ixesha elide" efunekayo kweli shishini nge-4 kaJulayi. Bekuya kuba kubi ukuba amazibuko afumana ukungena okukhulu, kwangoko, kwezikhongozeli ezigcwele iifireworks, kwaye bengazilungiselelanga ngokufanelekileyo ukuzicubungula. Ukungabi nazo iimveliso kuya kubangela ukulibaziseka okongezelelweyo nokunokuba yintlekele, okuthintela imveliso ekuphumeni kumazibuko iye kwiivenkile nakwiindawo zokugcina impahla.
Isizathu sokuba besisoloko sixhasa kukuba iziphumo zeCoronavirus ziphelele. Ishishini le-1.3G kunye ne-1.4S lobuchwephesha bomlilo, kunye neshishini le-1.4G labathengi bomlilo, liza konakala ngokwezimali. Iziphumo zentsholongwane kwimveliso kunye nothungelwano lokubonelela oluvela eTshayina azikaziwa. Ngelishwa, ukuqhambuka kwentsholongwane kuza emva kwengozi eyenzeka ngoDisemba ka-2019, eyabangela ukuvalwa kwazo zonke iifektri zomlilo ngurhulumente waseTshayina. Le yinkqubo eqhelekileyo xa kwenzeka ingozi efana nale.

Oko sikwaziyo:
• Kuza kubakho ukunqongophala kwikhonkco lokubonelela ngezixhobo zomlilo kule sizini yomlilo, nto leyo eza kuba nefuthe elibi kushishino lwethu.
• Izinto ezifika kwiizibuko zaseMelika ziza kufika emva kwexesha eliqhelekileyo, nto leyo edala ukusilela kunye nokulibaziseka okungakumbi – mhlawumbi ekupheleni kweNtwasahlobo.
• Ii-fireworks, ingakumbi ezo zikwicala labathengi, “zii-hyper-seasonal,” oko kuthetha ukuba phantse yonke ingeniso yonyaka omnye kwinxalenye enkulu yoshishino yenzeka kwiintsuku ezi-3 ukuya kwezi-4 malunga nomhla we-4 kaJulayi. Akukho shishini limbi elijongene nomzekelo weshishini “hyper-seasonal” onjalo.
 
Impembelelo enokubakho kwi-fireworks zobungcali ze-1.3G kunye ne-1.4S:
• Ukuncipha kokunikezelwa kwempahla evela eTshayina kunokubangela ukunyuka kweendleko, njengoko iinkampani kufuneka zifune amanye amazwe ukuze zifumane ukunikezelwa kwempahla.
• Nangona kulindeleke ukuba imiboniso emikhulu yokubhiyozela uSuku lweNkululeko iqhubeke, kusenokuba neembumbulu ezimbalwa ezidutyulwayo njengoko uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali luhlala lungaguquki. Uninzi lweenkampani ezinkulu ezidutyulwayo ziphethe uluhlu lwezinto ezibalulekileyo unyaka nonyaka, kodwa kwizinto ezifunekayo kulo nyaka, kusenokufuneka zisebenzise imithombo yeembumbulu zexabiso eliphezulu. Iimbumbulu ziya kuba ngcono kodwa ziya kubiza ngaphezulu. Oko kuthetha ukuba ngaphandle kohlahlo-lwabiwo mali olongeziweyo, imiboniso yeembumbulu inokuzibona iimbumbulu ezimbalwa ezidutyulwayo.
• Imiboniso emincinci yoluntu isenokuchaphazeleka kakhulu okanye ingenzeki konke konke. Ngokwesiqhelo imiboniso efana nale yenziwa ziinkampani ezincinci ezisenokungabi naluhlu olukhulu lwezinto eziza kuhanjiswa. Ukunqongophala kwezinto kulo nyaka kunokuba yingozi kakhulu.
 
Impembelelo enokubakho kwi-fireworks zabathengi ze-1.4G:
• Ukuncipha kobonelelo oluvela eTshayina kuya kubangela ukunqongophala okukhulu kwezinto ezisetyenzisiweyo.
• Ukungabikho kwempahla egciniweyo kuya kukhokelela ekwandeni kweendleko kubo bonke ababandakanyekayo—abangenisa impahla kwamanye amazwe, abathengisi ngobuninzi, abathengisi kunye nabathengi.
• I-China ibonelela phantse nge-100% yee-fireworks zabathengi ezisetyenziswa kwimarike yaseMelika. Ngenxa yokulibaziseka okubangelwe yiCoronavirus kunye nokuvalwa kwefektri kwangaphambili, eli shishini lijongene nento elingazange lijongane nayo ngaphambili.
• Ukuthunyelwa okulibazisekileyo kuya kuba yingozi kuba impahla kufuneka ifike kwiindawo zokugcina impahla ezivela kwamanye amazwe/ezithengiswa ngobuninzi kwiiveki ezi-6-8 ngaphambi kweholide kaJulayi 4, ukuze isasazwe kulo lonke ilizwe ngexesha lokuba abathengisi bamisele iivenkile zabo baze baqalise ukuthengisa. Njengoko impahla eninzi kangaka ifuneka kweli xesha lonyaka ifika emva kwexesha, kuya kubakho imiqobo ebalulekileyo kubathengisi bamashishini amancinci ukuba basinde kweli xesha lonyaka.
 
Iziphumo zoqoqosho kwixesha lee-fireworks:
• Ishishini lee-fireworks laseMelika lijongene nomceli mngeni wezoqoqosho ongazange ubonwe ngaphambili. Idatha evela kwixesha lonyaka ka-2018 ibonisa ingeniso edibeneyo yeshishini ye-$1.3B eyahlulwe phakathi kweengcali ($360MM) kunye nabathengi ($945MM). Ii-fireworks zabathengi ziphantse zadlula i-$1Billion kuphela.
• La macandelo oshishino akhule ngomyinge we-2.0% kunye ne-7.0% ngaphezulu kowama-2016-2018, ngokulandelelana. Sisebenzisa loo mazinga okukhula, njengoqikelelo, sinokuqikelela ukuba ingeniso kulo nyaka iya kuba yi-$1.33B ubuncinane eyahlulwe phakathi kweengcali ($367MM) kunye nabathengi ($1,011MM).
• Nangona kunjalo, kulo nyaka ukukhula kulindeleke ukuba kube phezulu. Umhla wesi-4 kaJulayi ungoMgqibelo – ngesiqhelo umhla wesi-4 kaJulayi ungcono kakhulu kushishino. Ukuba sicinga ukuba amazinga okukhula aphakathi ukusuka ngoMgqibelo odlulileyo, umhla wesi-4 kaJulayi, siqikelela ukuba ingeniso yoshishino phantsi kweemeko eziqhelekileyo iya kuba yi-$1.41B, yahlulwe phakathi kweengcali ($380MM) kunye nabathengi ($1,031MM). • Iingxelo zibonisa impembelelo kumbhiyozo walo nyaka, ngenxa yokuqhambuka kweCoronavirus, kwindawo ekufutshane nelahleko kwinzuzo ye-30-40%. Kwimeko yamacandelo oshishino ahlukeneyo, sisebenzisa inqanaba eliphakathi le-35%.

Ngokusekelwe kulwazi lwethu, ilahleko elindelekileyo kweli xesha lonyaka zezi:
Iifireworks zobungcali – Ingeniso elahlekileyo: $133MM, inzuzo elahlekileyo: $47MM.
Iifireworks zabathengi – Ingeniso elahlekileyo: $361MM, inzuzo elahlekileyo $253MM.

Ezi lahleko zisenokungabonakali zinkulu xa zithelekiswa nezinye iifemu, kodwa zibaluleke kakhulu kwifemu eyenziwe ziinkampani ezimbalwa ezinkulu kunye namawaka emisebenzi emincinci kakhulu "yomama kunye noopopayi". Ngenxa yoko, uninzi lwaba banini luza kugxothwa kwishishini.
Sijongene nokulahlekelwa, ngenxa yokuswela indlela engcono yokuyibeka, unyaka wonke. Akukho xesha lesibini kwishishini lezinto zomlilo zabathengi. Njengoko le ngxaki ichaphazela ixesha le-4 kaJulayi ngokungalinganiyo, eliyinxalenye enkulu yengeniso yenkampani yezinto zomlilo, ilahleko inokuba nkulu nangakumbi.
