By the New Year, prices for electronics in Russia may increase by 10-15%.
Experts attribute the rise in prices for phones, laptops and household appliances to several factors influencing the market.
Many manufacturers of electronics and household appliances have already announced price increases of up to 15%, Izvestia writes.
According to Alexey Pogudalov, Commercial Director of Kholodilnik.ru, this is due to complex logistics and the continuing rise in the dollar exchange rate.
He also noted that the rise in the price of spare parts is compounded by the overall situation.
The main reason for the price increase is the sharp rise in the cost of components.
Shortages of certain components and the general rise in prices for electronics also play a major role.
Russian distributors began purchasing the first batches at higher prices for the start of New Year sales.
The price increase may affect not only phones and laptops, but also all household appliances.
