"Skinflint" Comparison Shows Strong Differing Price Development

The analysis by the price comparison platform Geizhals.at shows that the prices for printers, game consoles, and digital cameras fell, while household appliances and perfumery products increased significantly.

Price Development: Printers Became Cheaper - Processors More Expensive

The development was particularly pleasing for consumers who wanted to buy a new multifunction printer: For printers and scanners, almost a third less had to be spent last year than in 2023 (minus 30 percent). Energy storage and handheld game consoles also became much more affordable with average price reductions of minus 21 percent each. The prices for notebooks and mobile phones have also slightly fallen.

The price development for processors (CPU) was contrary, which became on average 18 percent more expensive last year. Cleaning robots (+13 percent) and perfumery products (+11 percent) also recorded noticeable price jumps. Televisions and fully automatic coffee machines each became 10 percent more expensive, closely followed by lawn mower robots and smartwatches, which developed with a plus of 9 percent each clearly above the general inflation rate.
