In Russia, a new deficit: soaring toilet prices

The depreciation of the ruble does not stop rising inflation.

Toilets and sinks in Russia have risen sharply in price and economy class installations. This was reported by the Russian media with reference to the operators of the construction market.

According to Pridex Commercial Director Oleksandr Aleinikov, Chinese and Turkish suppliers are actively using the situation of increased demand related to the departure of European brands and raising the cost of their products.

” Despite the return of the ruble to pre-crisis levels, supply cuts, complicated logistics chains and rising raw material prices remain important factors affecting the cost of the final product, “said construction company Pridex, which conducted a study on rising prices.

At the same time, these premium items increased in price by 5-25% (in 2021 this figure did not rise above 10%). Pridex notes that, despite the slight increase, the premium segment has a much larger deficit than the economy segment: in particular, companies such as Hansgrohe, Axor, Duravit, Villeroy & Boch, Geberit and Grohe have limited their activities in Russia./p>
