In 2024, the average price of smartphones in the Russian Federation increased by 12-15% over three quarters compared to the same period in 2023.
The main reasons for this increase in price are the change in the dollar exchange rate, the increase in the key rate and a number of other factors.
Overall, the cost of smartphones in Russia increased by 12–15% from January to September 2024 compared to the period a year earlier, Izvestia writes.
The rise in prices was influenced by fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate, an increase in the key rate and a number of other factors.
The changes affected the cost of logistics and procurement, and as a result, prices skyrocketed.
With the New Year approaching, a moderate increase in smartphone prices is expected due to increased demand for electronic devices.
According to retailers, the average price of smartphones increased by 14% to 23.7 thousand rubles. This is also due to changes in purchases.
At the beginning of next year, calm price dynamics can be observed.
However, retailers believe that there are no reasons for the reverse dynamics yet.
