How much will the price go up?



We have summarized the latest information.

On September 30th, I visited a discount store in Ota Ward, Tokyo, where many people are buying in bulk.



At this store, we are increasing the purchase of alcoholic beverages by 3 to 4 times from the previous month and August, mainly beer-based beverages, which are expected to increase in store prices by up to 13% this time, but 350ml and 500ml beer Many people buy a box containing 24 cans, and there are times when the product is not available in time.

A woman in her 60s who purchased four boxes at once and requested delivery said, "The beer I bought today is for Christmas and the year-end party. I drink beer to relax on the weekends, so raising the price is a problem." .

why the price increase?

What is the burden on the household budget?

Teikoku Databank, a private credit research company, conducted a survey of 105 major food and beverage manufacturers, and found that more than 6,500 food and beverage items have plans to raise prices in October.



This is about 2.7 times higher than in September and is expected to mark the peak of price increases.



It is believed that this was due to the combination of soaring raw material prices, high crude oil prices, and the weak yen.

In addition, based on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' household budget survey, it is estimated that households with two or more people will increase by an average of 5,730 yen per month, and an average of 68,760 yen per year.



Of these, "processed food" is the largest, and it is said that it will increase by 2560 yen per month.



In addition, "alcoholic beverages and beverages" increased by 1,285 yen per month, which is an increase in the burden equivalent to six 350ml cans of beer.

Even though the peak price hike has passed...

"Teikoku Databank" points out that the lower the income of the household, the higher the ratio of food expenses to the expenditure, and the greater the burden of the price increase.



He added, "Since November, there are signs that the wave of price hikes will subside, but the price of milk products and other products are scheduled to rise in the future, which may further increase the burden on household budgets."



From November onwards, major manufacturers are planning to raise the prices of products that are familiar to our lives, such as milk, yogurt, confectionery, and baby food.
