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 shows the EU-27 construction producer price index rose to 124.2 in 2025, indicating continued cost increases for building materials and construction services across the bloc. The figures point to ongoing price pressure in the sector, which affects housing costs, infrastructure projects and wider inflation trends. Analysts and industry watchers are reviewing the data for signs of easing or persistence.

Eurostat's quarterly industrial production index for the EU stands at 100.4 in the first quarter of 2026, easing slightly to 100.2 in the second quarter, according to newly released statistics. The marginal dip suggests industrial output in the bloc is roughly flat, prompting analysts to weigh whether the sector is stabilising or heading into renewed weakness amid ongoing concerns about European manufacturing competitiveness.
