Industry insiders point to several contributing factors behind the price ascent. In particular, rising cotton prices, disruptions in fabric supply, and ongoing logistics bottlenecks affecting shipments from Turkey are cited as primary drivers. The combination of tighter material markets and transportation delays has compressed margins for manufacturers and wholesalers alike, culminating in higher retail prices for end consumers.

Russian manufacturers also source cotton internationally in exchange for foreign currency, a dynamic that can amplify cost volatility when exchange rates shift or import costs climb. Additional pressures come from increases in the price of yarn, gray fabric, dyes, and other chemicals, as well as the expense of importing equipment used in textile production. These layered cost changes feed through to product prices and product availability. (Source attribution: Life and related industry updates.)
