Factors Photographic Film Prices

In India, the price of photographic film has been on the rise in recent years. A number of factors have contributed to this price increase, including the rising cost of raw materials, inflation, and the falling Indian rupee.

The cost of raw materials for photographic film has been increasing due to a number of factors, including the rising price of petroleum-based products and the increased demand from China. In addition, inflation has been a factor in the higher cost of photographic film, as the price of other goods and services has also been rising.

The falling Indian rupee has also contributed to the higher cost of photographic film in India. When the rupee falls in value, it takes more rupees to purchase the same amount of foreign currency. This means that imported goods, such as photographic film, become more expensive when purchased with rupees.

It is also important to note that there are two main types of photographic film: color negative film and black-and-white negative film. Color negative film is generally more expensive than black-and-white negative film. This is because color negative film requires more complex manufacturing processes and contains more expensive materials. Second, the price of photographic film also varies depending on the brand.

Third, the size of the roll also affects the price of photographic film. Rolls of 35mm film are typically less expensive than rolls of 120mm or 4x5 inch film. This is because 35mm film is produced in larger quantities and thus benefits from economies of scale.
