Will price increases increase multiple times?

According to a research company, companies expect the situation where costs have increased to last for a long time, so there are more cases where small price increases are divided into multiple times instead of one large price increase.

We will be paying close attention to future trends in egg supply due to the price hike, soaring feed prices, and the spread of avian influenza."
