Wholesale prices in Austria rose by 0.2% year-on-year in October 2025, easing from an eight-month high of 1.2% increase in the previous month. The slowdown was mainly driven by lower prices of grain, seeds and animal feeds (-10.6%), plastics and rubber in primary forms (-7.9%), other liquid and gaseous fuels and related products (-6.1%), waste and scrap (-5.9%), hides and leather (-4.4%), and motor spirit (-3.8%). These declines were partially offset by strong annual price increases for coffee, tea, cocoa and spices (+24.6%), watches and jewellery (+22.2%) and live animals (+18.7%), sugar, chocolate and sugar confectionary (+7.3%), and non-alcoholic beverages (+6.5%). On a monthly basis, wholesale prices fell by 0.3% in October, reversing a 0.3% gain in the preceding period.
