The changing costs of raw materials, particularly steel, can have a substantial impact on the ship plate industry. Price fluctuations can drive up production costs, making it difficult for shipbuilders to budget and plan effectively. When steel prices rise unexpectedly, ship plate makers face more costs, which are often passed on to the supply chain, eventually affecting shipbuilders.
