Siemens Digital Industries List Price Adjustment Takes Effect November 1, 2026
Siemens Ltd., China Digital Industries has issued a product list price adjustment notice that will take effect on November 1, 2026. The change covers selected product groups across its Digital Industries sales domains and is expressed as an adjustment to RMB list prices.
For maintenance teams, system integrators and purchasing departments, the practical point is not simply that “Siemens prices are going up.” The official schedule applies different average adjustments to different product families. Some lines show modest single-digit changes, while certain hardware, memory cards and phase-out products carry much larger percentages. A valid comparison therefore requires the exact Siemens article number, not only a family name such as S7-1500 or SINAMICS.
HKXYTECH reviewed the notice to identify the areas most likely to affect current quotations, spare-parts planning and automation projects scheduled for late 2026.
What the Siemens Notice Actually Says
The new pricing is effective from November 1, 2026. The accompanying schedule lists average price adjustments by product group, and it also states that the change for an individual product may differ from the percentage shown for its group.
That distinction matters. A figure such as +15% for a product family should not be treated as a guaranteed increase for every order number within that family. Configuration, product lifecycle status, software licensing, local terms, stock source and quotation validity can all affect the final commercial result.
The announcement concerns list prices. It is not a stock guarantee, a fixed resale price or a confirmation that every distributor quotation will change by exactly the same percentage on the same day.
Selected Product Groups Buyers Should Review
The official schedule is extensive. The following selection highlights product groups that frequently appear in factory automation, retrofit and spare-parts enquiries.
| Siemens product group | Average adjustment stated in the notice |
|---|---|
| SIMATIC S7-1500 CPUs, including fail-safe versions | +15% |
| SIMATIC S7-1200 G2 CPUs, including fail-safe versions | +7% |
| SIMATIC S7-1200 G1, including I/O | +15% |
| LOGO! | +8% |
| SIMATIC PLC I/O and hardware, including fail-safe products | +5% |
| SIMATIC HMI Comfort Panels | +15% |
| Unified Basic and Unified Comfort Panels | +7% |
| HMI panel memory cards | +50% |
| Industrial PCs, average | +25% |
| SIMOTICS motors | +6% |
| SINAMICS hardware | +9% |
| SINAMICS software | +5% |
| SINAMICS memory cards | +125% |
| V20 and G120XA drives | +5% |
| V90 and 1FL6 systems | +10% |
| S200, 1FL2 and 1FL1 systems | +5% |
| Wired industrial networks | +10% |
| Rugged industrial networks | +5% |
| Wireless industrial networks | +10% |
| Communication processors | +15% |
| SIMATIC PCS 7 software | +4% |
| SIMATIC PCS neo software | +2% |
These percentages are a purchasing reference, not a substitute for a model-specific quotation. The schedule also contains separate entries for software, service, motion-control products, process instrumentation and products at different phase-out stages.
Where the Commercial Impact May Be Most Noticeable
The largest headline percentages appear around particular accessories and computing products rather than every mainstream automation component. Memory cards are a clear example: the schedule lists +50% for HMI panel memory cards and +125% for SINAMICS memory cards. Industrial PC hardware bundles are listed at +30%, while the average adjustment for IPC products is +25%.
This can change how a bill of materials should be reviewed. A PLC or drive may receive most of the attention, but the required memory card, communication processor or accessory can make a meaningful difference to the total project cost. Buyers should check complete configurations rather than comparing only the main CPU or converter.
Lifecycle status also deserves attention. The notice includes specific adjustments for products in phase-out stages and for spare parts. An older replacement item may not follow the same average as a current-generation product. Before approving a substitute, engineering teams should confirm compatibility, firmware requirements and whether any program or wiring change is involved.
What to Do Before November 1
Projects that already have a Siemens bill of materials should be reviewed while there is still time to resolve unclear order numbers. This does not mean every item needs to be purchased immediately. It means the commercial and technical assumptions behind the project should be current.
Start with open quotations. Check the stated validity period, currency, Incoterms, delivery basis and whether pricing is tied to shipment date or order date. If a quote will expire close to November 1, ask the supplier to reconfirm it rather than assuming the earlier price remains available.
Next, verify the full Siemens article number for each item. Small differences in a suffix can represent a different hardware version, regional variant, license, communication interface or bundled accessory. A description such as “S7-1500 CPU” is not precise enough for reliable stock and price checking.
Finally, separate critical spares from routine replenishment. A discontinued CPU, drive control unit or HMI needed for a running production line may justify earlier action than a non-critical component with several approved alternatives. The correct decision depends on downtime risk, installed base and lead time, not only the percentage adjustment.
Siemens Product Areas Available from HKXYTECH
Buyers can review common Siemens automation families through the following HKXYTECH product sections:
- SIMATIC S7-1500 PLC products
- SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC products
- SIMATIC HMI panels
- SINAMICS converters and drive components
- Siemens Industrial Ethernet products
The online catalog is a useful starting point, but it may not represent every available Siemens order number or the final current price. For project quantities, urgent replacement requirements or older products, a direct model check is more reliable.
How to Request an Updated Siemens Quotation
Send HKXYTECH the following information so the enquiry can be checked against the correct product and delivery requirement:
- Complete Siemens article number, including all letters, numbers and suffixes
- Required quantity
- Delivery country or destination postal code
- Required delivery date
- Product label photo when replacing installed equipment
- Preferred condition or acceptable alternative, if relevant
- Any deadline attached to an existing quotation or project approval
For a multi-item project, a spreadsheet or clear bill of materials reduces the risk of model-number transcription errors. HKXYTECH can then check current availability, quotation terms and export shipment options for the requested items.
You can also browse the HKXYTECH shop or contact HKXYTECH with the exact Siemens model numbers you need.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does the Siemens price adjustment take effect?
The announced effective date is November 1, 2026.
Does every Siemens product increase by the same percentage?
No. The notice lists different average adjustments for different product groups. It also states that individual product prices may vary from the group average.
Are the percentages final selling prices?
No. They refer to average RMB list-price adjustments in the Siemens notice. A final quotation depends on the exact article number, quantity, availability, commercial terms and destination.
Which details are most important when requesting a price check?
The full Siemens article number is the most important starting point. Quantity, delivery country and required date are also necessary for a useful quotation. A product-label photo helps when the item is being replaced in an existing system.
Should an existing quotation be checked again?
Yes, especially if its validity period reaches late October or November 2026. The supplier should confirm whether the quoted price and delivery terms remain valid.
A Practical Note for Buyers
Price-adjustment announcements are useful for planning, but they should not replace item-level verification. Treat the published percentages as an early warning for budgeting and quotation review. The exact product code, current stock position and written offer remain the basis for a purchase decision.
HKXYTECH will continue to support Siemens PLC, HMI, drive, industrial communication and related spare-parts enquiries. For an updated check, send the model number, quantity and destination through the HKXYTECH contact page.
