In August 2025, the inflation rate in Japan stood at *** percent. The term inflation means the devaluation of money caused by a permanent increase of the price level for goods and services. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the price development for private expenses and shows the current level of inflation when it increases. Rising consumer prices since 2022 Since the economic downturn in the 1990s, consumer prices in Japan have remained stagnant. Many Japanese consumers have never experienced a significant rise in cost of living, as the country had been struggling with deflationary pressures for over three decades. In the last years, this has changed drastically. Consumers have been confronted with rising prices since 2022, driven by global tensions and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. While Japan’s CPI recorded a *** percent growth in 2024, real household consumption expenditure declined. Consumer inflation in 2024 Annual inflation decreased from *** percent in 2023, the highest level recorded since 1991. A look at the price growth of major categories in the CPI shows that prices for ********************** saw the largest increases in 2024, followed by **** and ******************************. Fresh food prices, which rose by ***** percent, were at the core of the food price growth. ************, ****************, and ******* such as rice, bread, and noodles, were among the major contributors to Japan’s inflation. Rice prices jumped significantly in 2024. The staple food continued to see drastic price hikes in 2025.

The Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) gives comparable measures of inflation for the countries and country groups for which it is produced. It is an economic indicator that measures the change over time of the prices of consumer goods and services acquired by households. In other words, it is a set of consumer price indices (CPIs) calculated according to a harmonised approach and a set of definitions as laid down in Regulations and Recommendations.

In addition, the HICP provides the official measure of consumer price inflation in the euro area for the purposes of monetary policy and the assessment of inflation convergence as required under the Maastricht criteria for accession to the euro.

The HICP is available for all EU Member States, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland. In addition to the individual country series there are three country groups: the euro area (EA), the European Union (EU), and the European Economic Area (EEA), the latter covering Iceland and Norway, in addition to the EU. Liechtenstein does not produce HICP and is therefore not included in the EEA HICP aggregate.

The official indices for the country-groups reflect the changing country composition of the EA, the EU and the EEA. The HICP for new Member States is chained into the aggregate indices at the time of accession. For analytical purposes Eurostat also computes country-group indices with stable country composition over time.

HICP for Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Türkiye (candidate countries), as well as Kosovo (^*) are also published. Their data is flagged with 'd' ('definition differs'), given that its conformity with the methodological HICP requirements has not been evaluated by Eurostat.

A proxy-HICP for the all-items index and main headings is also available for the USA.

National HICPs are produced by National Statistical Institutes (NSIs), while country-group indices (EU, EA and EEA) are produced by Eurostat.

The data are released monthly in Eurostat's database and include price indices and rates of change (monthly, annual and 12-month moving average changes). In addition to the headline 'all-items HICP', over 400 sub-indices for different goods and services and over 30 special aggregates are available, including the HICP at administered prices (HICP-AP).

Every year, with the release of the January data, the relative weights for the indices and the special aggregates (item weights) as well as the individual countries' weight within the country groups (country weights) are published.

The composition of the HICP for administered prices (HICP-AP), i.e. which sub-indices are classified as mainly or fully administered by each Member State, is updated at the same time (more information on HICP-AP can be found under the Specific topics on the web page: Information on data - Harmonised Indices of Consumer Prices (HICP) - Eurostat (europa.eu) (#HICP - administered prices).

Eurostat publishes early estimates, called 'flash estimate', of the euro area overall inflation rate and selected components. These are published monthly, usually on the last working day of the reference month.

The HICP at constant tax rates (HICP-CT) is also published every month and follows the same computation principles as the HICP, but is based on prices at constant tax rates. The comparison with the standard HICP can show the potential impact of changes in indirect taxes, such as value-added tax (VAT) and excise duties, on the overall inflation (more information can be found in the 'HICP-CT Reference methodology document').

Abstract

Food price inflation is an important metric to inform economic policy but traditional sources of consumer prices are often produced with delay during crises and only at an aggregate level. This may poorly reflect the actual price trends in rural or poverty-stricken areas, where large populations reside in fragile situations. This data set includes food price estimates and is intended to help gain insight in price developments beyond what can be formally measured by traditional methods. The estimates are generated using a machine-learning approach that imputes ongoing subnational price surveys, often with accuracy similar to direct measurement of prices. The data set provides new opportunities to investigate local price dynamics in areas where populations are sensitive to localized price shocks and where traditional data are not available.

        A dataset of monthly food price inflation estimates (aggregated for all food products available in the data) is also available for all countries covered by this modeling exercise.

The Bread and Bakery Goods Production industry’s performance has fluctuated over the past few years due to evolving consumer tastes, shifting incomes and volatile prices. Over the five years through 2025-26, revenue is slated to swell at a compound annual rate of 1.6% to £10.3 billion, driven by the growing price of bread and other baked goods. Manufacturers have endured mounting ingredient, energy and overhead costs, opting to pass these increased costs on through higher prices to protect profit, even as incomes dropped and more consumers traded down to cheaper bakery products. However, intense buying power from supermarkets has forced manufacturers to swallow some costs, reducing profit over the past five years. Bread's status as a staple food has insulated it from weak economic conditions, maintaining steady demand. In 2025-26, revenue is expected to edge up by 0.8%. While incomes are feeling the pressure once again from rising inflation, the price of bread remains high; however, growth in prices has flattened out and wheat prices are dipping, limiting revenue hikes. Further supporting revenue expansion, many baked goods producers have introduced new product lines in order to meet growing demand for alternative items. These have included healthier items and more options for those with dietary requirements, like gluten-free goods. New product launches help to capture consumer attention, driving sales and revenue. Over the five years through 2030-31, revenue is forecast to rise at a compound annual rate of 2.3% to £11.6 billion. Consumers are expected to spend more on luxury bakery goods in the coming years as economic conditions improve and inflation falls back to its target level. However, growth prospects remain tempered by climbing health consciousness. As people become mindful of their calorie consumption, there’s likely to be a decline in the sales of products like pastries, cakes and certain breads, which are considered unhealthy. The popularity of artisanal brands is likely to further accelerate this decline. Providing products that match consumer tastes will be the recipe for success, with many producers already having launched new products to suit these changing preferences.
