Prices seem to have risen again for what things are getting expensive

Recently prices seem to have risen again and again.

Since January, the most common feeling is that the price of air tickets and hotels have been "crazy".

Recently, it seems that the prices of household goods are also on the rise.

In January, Nongfusanquan said that each bucket of water increased by 2 yuan, an increase of 10%;

McDonald's with the meal from 12.9 yuan to 13.9 yuan;

KFC's various products have also increased prices by 0.5-2 yuan to varying degrees;

*** enjoy the price of bicycles increased to 1.5 yuan per 15 minutes.

This price hike, from airfare to ****-enjoyed bicycles, has made many people exclaim that the cost of living is also too high.

There are several reasons for the price hike:

First, the prices of commodities such as airfare and hotels are particularly affected by market supply and demand.

Over the past three years, people's travel and entertainment have been suppressed, accompanied by plummeting incomes for travel agencies, airlines, bed-and-breakfasts and other related industries. Now that human needs are being rapidly unleashed, it's no surprise that market demand is high and prices are higher.

Secondly, the raw materials and costs of some commodities have risen, and their prices have naturally risen along with them.

Take mineral water, last year, international oil prices remain high, making the procurement cost of PET (a plastic material) become higher, coupled with the cost of packaging materials such as cartons, labels, shrink film, resulting in the first half of 2022, Nongfusanquan gross profit margin from the same period of the previous year, 60.9% to 59.3%, the rise in the upstream cost of bottled water prices naturally rise.

And as early as McDonald's with a price increase caused concern before the Haidilao, Xibei, Ruixiang Coffee, Tea Baidao and other food and beverage brands have raised prices. The reasons for the price hikes in the restaurant industry also point to higher raw material and labor costs.

Third, people in different regions and with different needs perceive prices differently. People feel the source of the price increase in goods is more food, clothing, housing and transportation of these aspects, while China's CPI is composed of food, tobacco, alcohol and supplies, clothing, household equipment, health care, transportation and communication, entertainment, education and culture, housing, which consists of eight categories. This year, the hotel and catering industry is up, but cars, electronic products and other goods are facing a price reduction is still not high sales, in these areas, people's current demand potential to be further released.

And, prices are naturally different in different regions.

What are the causes of price increases

Price increases are the result of a variety of factors **** the same role. Inflation, imbalance between supply and demand, rising costs and changes can all lead to price rises. In order to cope with the pressure of rising prices, we can take some effective measures, such as increasing our income, controlling our expenses, and choosing relatively low-priced goods, so as to alleviate the impact of rising prices on our lives.
