Thanks to all those who participated in our latest inflation survey. This edition of the survey asked two questions:
- How many price increases have you taken in 2022?
A total of 57% took one or two increases. This did not surprise me as much as the notion that 20% took four or more and 10% took zero. Those who took multiple increases had difficulty keeping pace with the rise in costs. As to those who did not take increases, I am not sure how that was possible in light of inflation.
29% took one price increase
28% took two price increases
13% took three price increases
12% took more than five price increases
10% took zero price increases
8% took four price increases
2. How much have you increased your prices in 2022?
44% of those responding indicated that they hax taken n increase of between ten percent and fifteen percent. Another 15% took increases of between fifteen and twenty-plus percent.
