The company declined to comment. Samsung is currently considering a 20% increase in the cost of its semiconductor products, which will eventually lead to consumers paying more for new devices.Discuss
According to Bloomberg, consideration of the issue of raising prices is a response to the fact that raw materials and logistics are becoming more expensive in the world. The price increase is expected to depend on the complexity of the components being produced, but it still means you end up paying 15-20% more for them.
Samsung is big a player in the semiconductor industry, it manufactures processors for a wide range of industries, memory devices, storage systems and manufacturing solutions that enable the production of other semiconductor products. Price increases of 20% in all of these sectors will inevitably lead to higher prices for any products that use Samsung components.
Samsung hasn't commented yet.
