The analysis of inventory-related financial data over the five-year period reveals several notable trends and fluctuations.

Raw materials
Raw materials inventory depicted significant volatility with a substantial increase from 37,800 thousand USD in 2017 to 147,500 thousand USD in 2018. This was followed by a decline to 68,300 thousand USD in 2019, a moderate rebound to 92,100 thousand USD in 2020, and then a sharp rise again to 296,600 thousand USD in 2021. The 2021 figure represents the highest value in the observed period, indicating potential strategic stockpiling or supply chain adjustments.
Work in process
Work in process inventory showed a steady upward trend, starting at 349,900 thousand USD in 2017 and increasing each year except for a slight decrease in 2019 compared to 2018. The values progressed to 625,500 thousand USD in 2018, a minor dip to 618,400 thousand USD in 2019, then increased to 634,500 thousand USD in 2020, and further climbed to 741,100 thousand USD in 2021. Overall, this indicates an expansion in production activity or longer production cycles.
Finished goods
Finished goods inventory increased from 1,035,100 thousand USD in 2017 to a peak of 1,343,800 thousand USD in 2018, followed by a decline in the subsequent years to 1,219,300 thousand USD in 2019 and a more pronounced drop to 868,200 thousand USD in 2020. In 2021, there was a strong recovery to 1,534,300 thousand USD, the highest level during the period. The fluctuations could suggest variations in sales levels, production planning, or market demand.
Final price deferred
This category remained relatively stable with minor fluctuations, ranging from 23,000 to 47,900 thousand USD. The highest value was recorded in 2019 at 47,900 thousand USD, with a notable drop to 23,000 thousand USD in 2020 before rising again to 31,400 thousand USD in 2021, suggesting some variability in price adjustments or deferred revenue recognition.
Operating materials and supplies
Operating materials and supplies inventories showed a gradual increase from 85,800 thousand USD in 2017 to 138,000 thousand USD in 2021. The growth was steady across the years, reflecting possibly an expansion in operational scale or the need to maintain higher stock levels for production support.
Total inventories
Total inventories increased markedly from 1,547,200 thousand USD in 2017 to 2,270,200 thousand USD in 2018. Thereafter, a decline was observed in 2019 to 2,076,400 thousand USD and a further drop to 1,739,200 thousand USD in 2020. The inventory surged again to 2,741,400 thousand USD in 2021, reaching the highest point in the dataset. This overall pattern suggests dynamic inventory management possibly influenced by market conditions, operational changes, and supply chain factors.
