This is just my two cents, but I think it'll vary by company and product. The big variable is how the items are normally shipped. If it's something they'd receive by freight (a pallet of something), their costs aren't going to go up, so they probably won't need to charge consumers more. It'll just take longer to arrive. If, however, it's something they could shift to air mail, just to get it out of the lockdown, they might opt to do that and pass the increase on to customers.
Still, in the short-term, I don't think you've got much to worry about. BBTS is probably going to be reluctant to increase advertised prices, especially with easily-cancellable pre-orders already placed by consumers, so it's more likely things'll just be delayed.
Long-term, though, yes. All of this stuff is going to start to get more expensive. Shutting down and slowing down, that costs companies money. Manufacturing, shipping, wholesaling, retailing. Everyone's going to be trying to make up lost revenue. Additional costs are going to be added to every step in the process. Probably not a ton, there's still a limit to what a market can bear, but they're going to push right up against that limit.
