Samsung Electronics has increased the prices of parts used for repairing smartphones and home appliances.
This marks the second price hike in six months, following the previous increase in January of this year.
Prices for mobile products, including smartphones, have risen by an average of 5%, while home appliance parts have increased by an average of 9%.
As parts account for 80 to 90 percent of after-sales service costs, repair fees paid by consumers are also expected to rise slightly.
Recently, the prices of finished products such as smartphones and laptops have also been rising consecutively due to the increased cost of components.
