Hikvision raised the price of hard drives on July 1st, insiders say: the cost of original factory hard drives in the third quarter has increased by over 50%.

According to informed sources, Hikvision has recently issued a hard drive price adjustment letter to distributors, and starting from July 1st of this year, the prices of the company's hard drive products will be raised in sync. In addition, before July 1st, Hikvision's other products will also undergo a round of price increases, while this time the hard drive price adjustment mainly targets distributor channels. Faced with the current situation of significant supply and price fluctuations, Hikvision has advised distributors to lock in orders and prices as soon as possible. In fact, this is not the first time that Hikvision has adjusted prices, nor is it an isolated case. As for the reasons for this price adjustment, the informed sources said that the core reason is the sustained crowding effect brought about by the "explosive" growth in demand for AI. Hard drive procurement costs have been continuously rising, and compared to the second quarter of this year, the cost quotation for hard drives in the third quarter has increased by more than 50%. Based on the current market situation, there is still a possibility of continuous price increases in the future.
