Year-Over-Year Price Shift — 2025 to 2026
Wholesale prices are up 8-12 percent year-over-year in 2026 versus 2025. Drivers:
- Tighter raw supply: South Indian temple donations have declined ~5 percent as tonsure rates normalize post-COVID peak.
- Labor cost inflation: Indian manufacturing wages up 10-15 percent YoY; cuticle-alignment sorting labor is a key cost driver.
- Energy and logistics: Shipping cost up 8-12 percent in H2 2025 carried into 2026 baselines.
- Currency and demand: USD-INR relatively stable; strong demand from US, UK, UAE, Nigeria holding prices firm.
Expected 2026 trajectory: modest further increase 3-5 percent by Q4 2026 as supply constraints continue. Volume buyers should lock in multi-quarter pricing commitments where possible.
