UDN: many computer manufacturers will raise prices by 30%.
Taiwanese computer manufacturer ASUS will significantly raise prices on its products due to the crisis. This is reported by the Chinese publication United Daily News (UDN).
The report states that due to rising prices for memory and storage drives, personal computer (PC) manufacturers are facing difficult times maintaining supply chain elements. As a result, ASUS plans to increase retail prices for computers and accessories by 30 percent.
The report specifies that the company intends to revise prices for consumers only in Taiwan for now. However, experts believe that the price increase will affect the entire global market. It is also expected that other companies will follow the example of ASUS, one of the largest PC manufacturers. The article states that this is "vital for maintaining profitability."
"Ultimately, all brands are currently facing shortages and rising prices for memory, solid-state drives, and processors," concluded the authors of the report.
