Annual evolution of export prices

The annual rate of the Export Price Index (IPRIX) in October was -0.1%, the same recorded for the month of September.

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, which increased its annual rate by 5.5 points to -2.0%, as a result of the rise in prices for Electricity production, transmission and distribution and, to a lesser extent, Oil refining, which was greater than in October 2024.

On the other hand, the industrial sectors which had a markedly negative influence are:

Capital goods, with a rate of 1.4%, nine tenths of a percentage point lower than in September. This was due to the fall in the prices of the Manufacture of motor vehicles, which rose in the same month last year. And, to a lesser extent, prices in the Manufacture of metal components for construction rose less than in October last year.

The annual variation of the general index excluding Energy decreased by two tenths to -0.1%, the same figure as that of the general IPRIX.

Annual evolution of import prices

The Import Price Index (IPRIM) recorded an annual rate of -2.4% in October, seven tenths lower than in September.

By economic use, among the industrial sectors with a negative influence on the variation of the annual rate of the IPRIM, the following stood out:

Energy, which had an annual variation of -11.5%, 2.9 points below that of the previous month, resulting from the fall in prices of Extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas, in contrast with the increase in the same month in 2024. And, to a lesser extent, coke ovens and oil refining, whose prices rose less than in October of the previous year.
Intermediate goods, which registered a rate of -0.6%, three tenths below that of September, due to the fall in prices in the Chemical industry, which increased in October 2024.

The annual variation rate of the overall index excluding Energy decreased one tenth, to -0.3%, which is 2.1 points above 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 July 2025 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.
