Method: The sample contains 134 notices effective in 2026: 133 price increases and 1 surcharge; 133 count as price increases and 41 include a usable stated percentage. Percentage statistics exclude separate surcharges, decreases, rescinded notices and increases without a stated percentage. A range such as 3–5% counts once at its midpoint; “up to” and “average” use the stated figure. Each notice has equal weight. These statistics describe collected announcements, not a typical contractor’s actual invoice; pricing can vary by product, region, supplier and account terms.
