Some companies have proposed price increases on the first trading day after the holiday as a way to change the current situation. The market currently faces overcapacity, severe price competition, and frequent incidents of seizing market share at a loss. It remains to be seen whether the price increase notice will bring order and regulation to the market. Future market changes are awaited.
