Fujifilm has notified dealers in Japan to expect price increases across a range of its photography products. Specifically, the company’s photo film will go up in price by as much as 60% starting in April.

In a rather simple press release shared on Fujifilm’s website, the company says “We have endeavored to absorb costs by improving production efficiency and reducing costs in response to the continuous decrease in demand for photographic film, photographic paper, and printed products. However, due to the soaring prices of materials and raw materials in Corona, and the rise in transportation costs, it has become difficult to absorb them only by corporate efforts. I would like to say. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience but thank you for your patience. We look forward to your continued patronage of Fujifilm products.”

The notice then lists a range of products that will be seeing price increases of varying amounts. Starting in April, photo film will see an increase of between 20% and 60%. In May, additional products will increase in price. Photo paper will increase by 10% to 20%, color photo processing chemicals will go up about 10%, inkjet paper will increase between 12% and 22%, and Instax Mini 11 film will go up about 15%.

In June, Fujifilm’s Prolab products will jump up in price anywhere from between 8% to 94%.

It is possible that these price increases will only affect Japan, but given that Fujifilm cites issues with the supply chain and cost of materials, it is very possible the increases will also affect the global market.
