By the new year, the cost of electronics, including laptops, in Russian stores will increase by 10–15%.
According to news sources, the first batches at increased prices have already been purchased by official distributors and will be delivered by the start of pre-New Year sales. The main reasons for the price increase are an increase in currency quotes, a general increase in prices for electronic devices, as well as the acceptance of payments by foreign banks when making payments in the Russian Federation and the complication of payment chains.
We see that there is growth. Many manufacturers of electronics and household appliances have already announced price increases of up to 15%. This is due to transit logistics, which determines its cost, as well as the dollar exchange rate, which has grown and is predicted to continue to grow. There is also an increase in the price of spare parts. We assume that prices will be calculated for absolutely everything. From phones and laptops to household appliances.
