Royaume-Uni Changement des prix à la production

Factory gate prices for UK-manufactured goods rose 3.4% year-on-year in December 2025, unchanged from the previous month. All ten product groups contributed upward pressure to the annual rate, with the largest contribution coming from food products, where prices increased by 4.3%, slightly accelerating from a 4.2% rise in November, partly driven by higher prices for processed and preserved meat. Inflation also picked up for textiles (4.9% vs 4.8%) and rebounded for paper and paper products (0.2% vs -0.2%) as well as coke and refined petroleum products (0.1% vs -0.6%). Meanwhile, price growth for motor vehicles and other transport equipment eased to 6.3% from 7.2%, exerting downward pressure on the annual rate. Costs also rose at a slower pace for basic metals (3.6% vs 4.0%) and chemical and pharmaceutical products (1.8% vs 2.1%). On a monthly basis, producer output prices were unchanged, compared with November and market expectations of a 0.1% gain.
