Price Increase & Product Shortage Resource Guide
Posted on 06/14/2021 at 06:02PM in Spring 2021: Industry Newsletter
Why Are There Product Shortages & Price Increases?
· Due to the uncertainty of Covid and other related issues, manufacturers under forecasted sales thinking sales would drop and they did not.
· Due to uncertainty in the market, there was a lot of panic buying. Due to the increase in demand, this caused manufacturers to get backlogged with production.
· Manufacturers prioritized production of A & B items, while in some cases, C and D products were not placed in production causing further delays on certain products.
· Due to fulfillment issues, some manufacturers canceled backorders without notification causing further delays.
· Due to the increased cost of fuel and raw materials, this is having a direct impact on the cost of products.
