Annual evolution of export prices

The annual rate for the Export Price Index (IPRIX) in July was 4.4%, 1.1 points above that recorded in June.

Among the industrial sectors with a positive influence on the evolution of the annual rate of the IPRIX by economic use of the goods worth noting are:

Energy, whose rate stood at 31.1%, 12.8 points higher than in June, due to the increase in the prices of Electricity production, transport and distribution, higher than in July 2025.
Intermediate goods, whose variation increased by five tenths, to 6.3%, as a consequence of the increase in prices of the Manufacturing of basic iron, steel and ferroalloy products and, to a lesser extent, of the Production of precious metals and other non-ferrous metals, which decreased in the same month last year.

The annual variation of the general index excluding Energy increased by four tenths, to 2.7%, standing nearly 1.7 points below that of the general IPRIX.

Annual evolution of import prices

The Import Price Index (IPRIM) registered an annual rate of 5.7% in July, an increase of one tenth from that of June.

By economic use, the industrial sectors with a positive influence on the evolution of the rate included the following:

Capital goods, with an annual variation of 1.5%, three tenths higher than the previous month, due to the increase in prices of the Manufacturing of computer, electronic and optical products, compared to the decline in July of the previous year.

Meanwhile, the only industrial sector with a negative influence on the variation of the annual rate of the IPRIM was:

Energy, which lowered its rate by 1.1 percentage points to 14.7%, due to prices for Extraction of crude petroleum and natural gasfalling more than in the same month of 2025.

Notably, although in the opposite direction, the price increase in Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply was higher than that of July last year.

The annual variation rate of the overall index excluding Energy increased by three tenths, to 3.2%, which is 2.5 points below the rate of the general IPRIM.

Data revisions and updates

The INE has updated the IPRIX and IPRIM data for the last three months, making the April 2026 data final. All the results of this operation are available at INEbase.

In accordance with the Commission's Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/137, the INE has begun to work on incorporating the new National Classification of Economic Activities CNAE-2025 in all its statistical operations.

In the case of IPRIX and IPRIM, the first publication of results with CNAE-2025 will take place in February 2028.

Methodological note

The Export Price Index (IPRIX) is a short-term indicator that measures the monthly evolution of the prices of industrial products manufactured in the domestic market and sold in the foreign market.

On the other hand, the Import Price Index (IPRIM) is a short-term indicator that measures the monthly evolution of the prices of industrial products from the rest of the world.

In order to obtain them, a continuous monthly survey is conducted, which every month investigates industrial establishments that carry out operations in the foreign market.

Type of survey:: monthly continuous survey.
Base year:: 2021.
Reference period of the weightings:: the year preceding the current year.
Population scope:: industrial establishments.
Sample size:: 4,100 industrial establishments for the IPRIX and 5,200 for the IPRIM.
Number of observations:: In the IPRIX approximately 15,000 monthly prices of 1,700 products and in the IPRIM about 19,000 prices of 2,100 products.
General calculation method:: Laspeyres’ Chain Index.
Collection method:: internet (IRIA system), e-mail, fax, telephone or postal mail.

For more information you can access the methodologies (IPRIX and IPRIM) and the standardised methodological report.

INE statistics are produced in accordance with the Code of Good Practice for European Statistics. More information on Quality at INE and the Code of Best Practices.
