I am sure
@Henning Serger can give you details of the profit margins of film manufacturers (approx). IIRC Henning posted about Agfa, before it exited the market, saying the margins on film were a few cents (I can't find the post).
I know before I retired from photo retail a few years ago, the profit margin on film sales was small. We made more profit from developing and scanning a 35 mm film.
Unless my memory is dodgy, it was Henning who stated that Kodak's profit margin on each roll of 35mm film is 2%
It was in response to the frequent assumptions that they're making massive profits from film. When in fact they're selling film at very low profit margins to try and keep prices down and making most of their profits elsewhere.
I know my local retailer makes about 50p per roll of film, typically charging between £8 and £10 per roll depending on whether it's PF4+, HP5+, Color Plus or something else.
Unfortunately, I don't use Facebook or Instagram. Is there a link you could provide that would allow me to see one of the videos without joining?
Regarding Andy Church at Kodak-Alaris, did he mention anything about hiring 300 additional workers to expand production? The news of this was released recently in the press? Accordingly, that should lower prices if his statement is accurate.
You'd need a Facebook or Instagram account, I'm afraid. I no longer have personal webspace to put sample files. If you PM me your email address I could send some over an email link, however.
Andy Church was a bit pressed for time and the reason for our conversation was something else (faulty batch of Ektar) so we didn't spend a lot of time covering this topic. But he didn't mention the 300 workers being hired, however he's Kodak-Alaris in the UK and we spoke back in the Spring. He may well not have known what Eastman-Kodak in NY were doing, or not been permitted to say. What he did say was that they were really thrilled with the response to the (then recent) launch of Gold in 120, and that they hoped soon to have stable colour film supplies worldwide. I did say that the chatter here was that Gold in 120 was very welcome and that people would buy more of their film if it were cheaper....and he said that basically the only way that could happen was if film sales increased a lot. The hope is that there's no need for further significant price rises in the foreseeable future.
