U-2020 ngunyaka ongaqhelekanga. Ngenxa yokucotha kokukhula koqoqosho lwehlabathi kunye nokwenzeka kwentlekele ye-coronavirus yehlabathi, iiodolo zasekhaya nezangaphandle ze-carbide enesamente kunye nemizi-mveliso yentsimbi ekhethekileyo yehlile, kwaye ishishini le-tungsten laseTshayina lijongene noxinzelelo oluhlayo. 

    Kwiminyaka embalwa ezayo, imarike ye-tungsten yehlabathi kulindeleke ukuba iphuhlise ngokukhawuleza, eyona nto ixhamla kwi-application yemveliso ye-tungsten kumashishini amaninzi, njengemoto, i-aerospace, imigodi, ukukhusela isizwe, ukusetyenzwa kwesinyithi njalo njalo. Kuqikelelwa ukuba isabelo semakethi ye-tungsten yehlabathi siya kudlula i-8.5 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zaseMelika ngo-2025. 

    Umzi-mveliso we-elektroniki yenye yeenkalo eziphambili zesicelo sokugqibela ukukhuthaza ukwanda kwemarike ye-tungsten. Ishishini le-elektroniki lehlabathi liya kuzuza ukukhula okukhulu kwiminyaka embalwa ezayo. Kuqikelelwa ukuba imakethi ye-tungsten esetyenzisiweyo kwintsimi yosetyenziso lwe-elektroniki kunye ne-terminal terminal iya kufikelela kwinqanaba lokukhula elihlanganisiweyo lonyaka le-8% ngo-2025. Kuqikelelwa ukuba iqondo lokukhula elihlanganisiweyo lonyaka kwimakethi ye-tungsten kulo mmandla liza kudlula i-8% ngo-2025. Enye indawo yokuphela kwesicelo esikhulu ekhuthaza uphuhliso lwemarike ye-tungsten yehlabathi yi-aerospace. Kuqikelelwa ukuba iqondo lokukhula elihlanganisiweyo lonyaka kwimakethi ye-tungsten kwindawo ye-aerospace iya kudlula i-7% ngo-2025.

   Uphuhliso olomeleleyo lweshishini lokuvelisa iinqwelomoya eJamani, eUnited States, eFransi nakweminye imimandla ephuhlileyo kulindeleke ukuba lukhuthaze ukukhula kwemfuno yoshishino lwetungsten. I-China iceba ukutyala i-3.4 yetriliyoni ye-yuan kulo nyaka ukwakha iiprojekthi zeziseko ezingundoqo ezingaphezu kwe-10000. Ezi projekthi zijolise kulwakhiwo lwesikhululo esisisiseko se-5g, umzila kaloliwe ohamba ngesantya esiphezulu kunye nothutho lukaloliwe lwasezidolophini, imfumba yokutshaja isithuthi samandla amatsha kunye namanye amacandelo. Ukuphunyezwa ngokulandelelana kwezi projekthi zintsha kuya kukhuthaza kakhulu ukubuyiswa kweshishini le-tungsten laseTshayina.
