What will become more expensive in 2022

More money will have to be paid for bicycles, alcohol, bottled water and tap water.

Bottled water and bicycles

This is due to mandatory labeling, that is, applying a special code to each unit of production. You can scan it, find out details about the product and make sure that it is not a fake. Labeling falls on the shoulders of manufacturers or importers. Therefore, it is expected that the goods for which it is introduced will rise in price. In 2022, this will affect water in packaging, bicycles and bicycle frames. But not only them.

On the one hand, there are not so many new groups for marking. But it affects not only a specific group of products, but also the entire market segment.
First of all, this is due to the fact that labeling requires updating the seller's software, training all personnel, introducing additional control points, as well as legal and accounting support. Simply put, despite the most difficult stage of the economy, enterprises will have to invest heavily in the implementation of accounting. Of course, the consumer will pay for this.
Moreover, it is obvious that a small sports store will raise prices not only for bicycles and frames, but for its entire range. As a result, some of these small businesses will simply close, which will lead to a decrease in competition and, again, an increase in prices throughout the segment.
Therefore, we can say that everything will become more expensive in the sectors of sports and children's goods, as well as in stores near the house where alcohol was not sold.

Precious metals and stones

In this segment, the rise in price is also associated with increased state regulation. From March 1, 2022, all operations with precious metals and stones will be carried out through the DMDK state integrated information system in the field of control over the turnover of these materials. This implies new features of accounting, application of identification numbers, and so on. From March 1, 2023, the use of two-dimensional barcodes for jewelry will become mandatory, and manufacturers need to prepare for this.

The rise in price in the jewelry industry is not so much due to the increase in prices for precious metals, which was observed in the previous two years, as with the introduction of the GIS. In practice, this means additional costs for manufacturers, primarily for small companies: obtaining new electronic keys, the cost of subscription services from consulting organizations, the purchase of additional equipment, it is possible to search for employees. And all this will affect the cost of finished products.

Delivery


Experts predict the end of the cheap "last mile". This is what logistics calls the last stage of delivery of goods - directly to the customer. That is, we will have to pay for receiving orders that the courier brings us for free now.

First of all, this market consists of the cost of labor and transport. The labor market is currently heated up: the competition of delivery services is maximum and in some regions it turns into a fierce struggle with the taxi market for performers.
Now both of these areas are gradually starting to become self-sufficient: bonus programs are being canceled, minimum checks for food delivery are being increased. In the near future, customers will start paying for the service that investors subsidized in 2020-2021. The rise in the cost of transport will also affect: the shortage of cars and spare parts will reach consumers' wallets. Therefore, if you have been putting off trying supermarket delivery for later, it makes sense to do it in the near future.

The trend is confirmed by recent events. For example, previously, products were always delivered free of charge by subscription to "SberPrime", now
- only three times a month. Delivery "Yandex.Food" has significantly risen in price. The situation will probably only get worse. But many are already so used to the services that they will be ready to pay.
Communal apartment

Housing and communal services, which include gas supply, hot and cold water supply, sewerage, heating, electricity and garbage collection, have traditionally become more expensive since July 1. How much is decided by the regional authorities. But they cannot exceed the percentage of growth determined by the government of the Russian Federation.
The minimum growth index is set for 2022
in the Sverdlovsk region β€” 2.9%. The maximum is in Chechnya, it is 6.5%. Also , St. Petersburg may be among the leaders in increasing the cost of communal services .‑St. Petersburg (6.3%), Tatarstan, Sevastopol and Crimea (all - 6.2%). How much more you will have to pay specifically β€” look on the website of the local executive authority.

Strong alcohol

The Ministry of Finance proposes to increase the minimum retail cost of half a liter of vodka by 7.4%, that is, from 243-320 rubles (depending on the strength) to 261-342. Cognac - by 7.6%: from 446 rubles to 480. The changes will also affect other alcohol stronger than 28%.
So far, the proposal is in the draft stage.
It is likely that it will be signed as is. If this happens, prices will rise from January 1, 2022.

Electronics and household appliances

In another draft resolution, the Ministry of Finance proposes
to temporarily ban the export of waste and scrap of precious metals abroad. The department believes that there are not enough stocks of raw materials containing these compounds on the domestic market. And exports are to blame for everything.
But because of this, businesses may experience problems with waste disposal as part of the extended responsibility of manufacturers. And this will entail the need to pay an expensive eco-collection. What will affect the availability of equipment for the end user.

Credits

During the year, the Central Bank repeatedly raised the key rate. She's grown up
more than twice β€” up to 8.5%.
The key rate affects various financial processes (how exactly, you can read in a special material). But loan rates respond the fastest to its change.
The last time this indicator was increased was in mid-December. This means that if some banks did not make loans, including mortgages, more expensive at the end of 2021, they will make up for it at the beginning of 2022. Further dynamics will depend on the key rate and other factors.
