Jakarta (B2B) - Harga jual keramik diperkirakan akan kembali naik rata-rata 7%-10% di kuartal III 2013, menurut asosiasi industri. Kenaikan tersebut diakibatkan peningkatan tarif gas untuk industri keramik sebesar 15% per 1 April 2013.

"Akan ada kenaikan harga jual bertahap di kuartal II sebesar 7%-10%, untuk mengcover kenaikan listrik dan gas," kata Elisa Sinaga, Ketua Asosasi Keramik Indonesia (Asaki).

Tarif tenaga listrik dan gas menjadi komponen yang berkontribusi dominan terhadap biaya energi serta biaya produksi industri keramik. 

Jakarta (B2B) - The ceramic industry’s association estimates ceramic selling price to increase an average of seven to 10 percent in the second quarter of 2013, due to gas price hike of 15 percent for the ceramic industry on April 1, 2013.

“Ceramic manufacturers will increase their ceramic selling price of seven to 10 percent to cover for the raised electricity and gas tariff,” said Elisa Sinaga, Chairperson of the Indonesian Ceramic Association (Asaki).

Electricity and gas tariff makes up the largest portion of the ceramic industry’s energy and production cost.
