According to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), wholesale selling prices in Germany were 1.3% higher in March 2025 compared to the same month in 2024. This follows annual increases of 1.6% in February and 0.9% in January. On a monthly basis, wholesale prices in March 2025 decreased slightly by 0.2% from February.

The year-on-year rise was primarily driven by higher prices in the wholesale of food, beverages, and tobacco, which increased by 4.4%. Notable price increases were recorded for coffee, tea, cocoa, and spices (+43.5%), as well as for sugar, confectionery, and bakery products (+16.3%). Prices for milk, dairy products, eggs, and edible fats and oils were also up by 9.3% compared to March 2024.

Wholesale prices for non-ferrous ores, non-ferrous metals, and related semi-finished products increased by 27.3% year-on-year.

In contrast, wholesale prices fell in several product categories. Prices for computers and peripheral equipment were down by 5.6%, while those for iron, steel, and ferrous semi-finished metal products declined by 5.4%. Prices also dropped for live animals (-3.2%) and mineral oil products (-3.0%).
