The chipmaker plans double-digit percentage hikes starting September 1, 2026, as memory, wafer and packaging costs climb Qualcomm is raising prices across its product portfolio. The increase is a double-digit percentage, and it applies to shipments starting September 1, 2026. The move matters now because it lands on a smartphone market that is already struggling. Qualcomm’s own handset business is shrinking, and a pricier chip makes the math harder for everyone downstream. The price hike covers products across Qualcomm’s lineup, not a single chip family. The company tied the decision to higher input costs throughout the semiconductor supply chain.
