What You Need to Know About the HP Price Increase

The upcoming 10% HP Price Increase is a direct result of continued global pressures, including supply chain disruptions and rising manufacturing costs. Here are the key points:

  • Effective Date: The new HP Price Increase will take effect on 1 February 2026.
  • Impact: This increase follows the 5% hike in December, totalling a 15% price rise in just two months.
  • Action Required: Businesses have until 31 January to secure current pricing before the rise.

These rapid price adjustments highlight the importance of staying ahead of procurement challenges and being proactive in managing IT budgets.

How to Handle the HP Price Increase

While the HP Price Increase is unavoidable, businesses can take steps to mitigate its impact. Here’s how:

  • Secure Current Pricing: Place your orders before 31 January to lock in rates before the 10% hike.

  • Plan Ahead: Work with trusted IT providers like Qual Limited to forecast future needs and secure cost-effective solutions.
