About Price Rise Watch
Price Rise Watch lists supplier price increase announcements in one place: who is raising prices, by how much, from when, in which category and region. It is for buyers and category managers who want to see an increase coming, or check whether a supplier's rivals are moving too.
Where entries come from
- Supplier notice: the supplier's own letter, press release or web page.
- Distributor page: a distributor or reseller passing on a manufacturer's increase.
- Buyer notice: a public procurement team telling its users about a contract price change.
- Trade press: a free-to-read trade publication reporting the increase.
Every entry links to the page it came from. Only free, public pages are used. Figures from paid price reporting services are never copied.
What the fields mean
- Increase: as the source states it. A percentage, a range, an amount per unit, or "Not stated".
- Effective: the date the new price applies. Many notices add "or as contracts allow".
- Announced: the date of the notice, or of the article if the notice date is not given.
- This week: notices announced in the last 7 days, and listed increases taking effect in the next 7 days.
Limits
An announced increase is what a supplier asks for, not what every customer pays. Check the source and your own contract terms before you act. If something is wrong, send a correction.
Who runs it
An independent personal project run by Simon Innes. It is not affiliated with any supplier, distributor or publication listed.
