Kodak Alaris has announced a “significant” price increase affecting all its film products in January 2022.
Kosmo Foto understands the price rises are primarily due to increases in materials and manufacturing costs, logistics and the impact of inflation in various parts of the world following the Covid pandemic. Increases in shipping costs and limited availability of shipping containers has also affected the movement of components to make the film.
Eastman Kodak, the US company which produces all Kodak-branded film, has experienced exceptional supply issues in 2021 and struggled to keep up with market demand. This is partly due to a huge increase in interest in film and compounded by the effect of the Covid pandemic on supply chains.
