Eurostat

Eurostat figures show domestic producer prices in the European Union increased by 1.4% in July 2026. The rise in factory-gate prices is being tracked as a signal of inflationary pressure moving through the bloc's supply chains, with analysts watching whether the increase feeds through to consumer prices in the coming months.

Eurostat data show the construction producer price index for the EU-27 rose to 124.2 in 2025, indicating continued cost pressures in the building sector. The figure reflects higher prices for materials and services paid by contractors across member states. Analysts are weighing what the increase means for housing costs, infrastructure budgets and broader inflation trends in the bloc.

Eurostat's industrial production index for the EU, indicator EI_ISIND_Q, registered 100.4 in the first quarter of 2026 and eased to 100.2 in the second quarter. The figures suggest euro area industrial output held broadly steady near its reference level, with a marginal slowdown at the start of the year's second half. Analysts are watching the series for signs of whether the bloc's manufacturing sector is stabilising after recent weakness, as the data feed into assessments of EU economic growth and monetary policy expectations.

Eurostat figures show the construction producer price index for the EU-27 stood at 128.6 in the second quarter of 2026. The release, accompanied by news coverage and statistical analysis, is being tracked as a gauge of building cost pressures across the bloc.
