The findings also show that many retailers are concerned about profit margins being hit by higher energy costs, with some acknowledging the need to cut staff numbers or reduce operating hours to reduce lost profits.

There are also retailers that are taking energy-saving measures to reduce operating costs, such as switching to more energy-efficient LED lighting.

Mar eisimpleir, Thomas Crapper, a bathroom company named after the inventor of the toilet, said its energy costs have risen by 160% gu 170%, and it is necessary to pass the increased costs through the supply chain to retailers and end users.

Really, the only thing you can do is pass those costs down the chain. It has to be borne by the retailer and the end consumer, or the cost goes directly beyond your bottom line,” a spokesman for the company said.

 

Or usher in a new round of price hikes

 

Since the beginning of this year, affected by the global economic and trade situation, both enterprises and distributors are facing the impact of shrinking market demand and rising energy prices.

Taking the United States as an example, a survey by local insurance and financial services company NationWide shows that 76% of consumers believe that the current US economy isbadorfair”.

Consumers are looking to cut as much as possible as costs continue to rise, with many starting to buy cheaper than usual in the past six months.

The situation is similar across Europe, with France’s National Statistics Institute (INSEE) forecasting that household consumption will remain stagnant in the fourth quarter, and economic contraction cannot be ruled out in the event of energy constraints.

In terms of energy, the previous explosion of theNorth Stream-1pipeline has caused soaring energy prices in Europe and concerns about insufficient energy supply.

Compared to before the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, current European gas prices have roughly tripled.

High energy prices will become the norm, and high price costs will be transmitted to various industrial sectors through the industrial chain, which also puts European home furnishing manufacturers under greater cost pressure.

As the above-mentioned sanitary ware company Thomas Crapper said, the cost pressure on the manufacturing side must be passed down through the chain, and it is expected that the European and American home furnishing markets will usher in a new round of price increases.
