Companies Acer and ASUS, according to network sources, will increase prices for their laptops in the next quarter. The upcoming price hike is due to several factors.

One of them is the shortage of electronic components. The shortage of processors and other semiconductor components has affected a wide variety of market sectors, from smartphones and computers to TVs and cars.

Another reason for the rise in price is the high demand for laptops, which has generated a pandemic. Due to the massive transfer of company employees to remote work, and students and schoolchildren to distance learning, the need for additional computer equipment has sharply increased.

It is reported that laptops Acer and ASUS in the coming months may rise in price by 10%. Obviously, other players in the global laptop market will follow the example of these companies.

Along the way, DigiTimes reports that the shortage of laptop components will only increase in the next quarter. This applies, in particular, to display control chips, as well as a number of other elements and materials. In such a situation, suppliers may simply not be able to cope with meeting demand from consumers.
