Tamiya America Announces Upcoming Price Increase – Effective October 1, 2025
Tamiya America, Inc., a trusted name in the hobby industry for decades, has announced that it will be increasing prices across its product lines beginning October 1, 2025. This adjustment follows several years in which the company absorbed rising material and production costs without passing them on to customers.
In a recent message to retailers and customers, Tamiya emphasized its commitment to providing both high-quality products and excellent customer service. The company noted that while it has managed steady pricing despite past increases of 10% to 30% in production materials, the significant cost surges in 2025 make it necessary to revise pricing going forward.
Key details of the announcement:
- Price increases will range between 6% and 9%, depending on the product type.
- The new pricing will take effect on October 1, 2025.
- Orders placed before October 1, 2025 will still be honored at current pricing.
While price adjustments are never welcome news, Tamiya’s decision underscores the challenges manufacturers face in an environment of rising material costs and inflation. For hobbyists, modelers, and collectors, this announcement serves as a reminder to plan upcoming purchases in advance of the effective date to take advantage of current pricing.
