HOW MUCH WILL DOLLAR TREE PRODUCTS INCREASE IN 2030?
Considering that in recent years Dollar Tree began gradually raising its prices, what is coming in the future is an increase in all its products. So that In 2021, these rose to US$1.25 and three years later, in March 2024, the store’s executive director, Rick Dreiling, specified that costs would range between US$1.50 and US$7. The reason? More than 300 items would expand the company’s multi-price assortment, GoRankingRates reports.
So by 2030, the increase will be greater. According to Michael Collins, CFA and CEO of WinCap Financial “If prices continue to rise by $2 every few years, the maximum price at dollar stores could reach $12 by 2030.. “This would represent a significant increase from the current price of US$1 or US$1.50 and would result in consumers spending much more on products in these stores.”.
WHY WOULD DOLLAR TREE PRICES RISE?
The factors that would affect the price increase at Dollar Tree are:
- INFLATION will lead to an increase in the price of goods and services, says Collins. For example, if the cost of production and transportation increases, the retail chain would have to pass those amounts on to consumers with higher prices.
- THE COMPETITION. “As more retailers enter the discount market and compete for customers, it may become more difficult for dollar stores to keep their prices low.”.
- CHANGES IN TRADE POLICIES AND INTERNATIONAL TARIFFS. “If tariffs are imposed on goods imported from countries like China, where many dollar store products come from, it could result in higher costs for these items and ultimately lead to higher prices at the retail level.”said the specialist to the same medium.
