Electronics prices in Russia increased by 10% for Android

The increase in prices for household appliances and other electronics in the territory of the Russian Federation began at the very beginning of July. By the end of the month, the increase in value reached an average of 10%, although some positions also received an increase of 1.5 times. Such changes occurred due to the appreciation of the dollar and the euro. Of course, there are still positions of the old prices, but this is due to their underestimated purchase price before the growth of the currency.

The Izvestia news portal gives examples of the rise in price of the HP Neverstop Laser printer, which reached the mark of 23.5 thousand rubles. And the Samsung Z Flip 4 folding smartphone is sold at a price of 89 thousand rubles.

diHouse — distributor of household appliances confirms that prices soar by 5-10% from product to product. According to him, this is directly related to the exchange rate. MTS also recorded growth in some product categories. The stabilization of the value of the euro and the dollar in the market will allow prices for devices to be reduced again.

According to a representative of one of the marketplaces, the increase in the cost of electronics will continue in proportion to the exchange rate. The outcome of a larger increase in the price of goods is possible only for foreign brands. Domestic manufacturers are not engaged in price increases, as logistics and other costs are not needed. Although it is also worth preparing that Russian brands will also slightly increase the cost in the future, when the price of the elements needed to assemble from abroad will also increase.
