Producer Price Index, 1998-2025: Secure Access

<p>The Producer Price Indices (PPIs) are a collection of price indices that measure inflation in goods bought and sold by UK manufacturers. The indices are split into the PPI, Export Price Indices (EPI) and Import Price Indices (IPI). The products included in the PPIs are based on the European statistical classification of products by activity (CPA 2.1), which is maintained by Eurostat. The PPIs cover products from CPA 2.1 sections A to E. The prices for goods are then weighted to reflect their relative importance within the index.</p><p>There are two main types of PPI:</p><ul><li>gross sector output - these are the factory gate prices of the finished manufactured product sold to a third-party customer (this can include other manufacturers)</li><li>gross sector input - these are the prices that manufacturers pay for materials used in the manufacturing process (these can be provided by any sector or through imports)</li></ul><p>There are also two main types of data used in the calculation of the Producer Price Indices (PPIs). These are the prices quoted by manufacturers for their products and the sales values that are used to provide a weight for the prices.</p><p>These data were previously grouped with the Consumer and Retail Price Index data and available under SN 7022 - Prices Survey Microdata: Secure Access.  The Consumer and Retail Price Index: Secure Access is available under SN 9521.</p><p>For further information see – <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/methodologies/producerpriceindicesqmi" target="_blank">Producer Price indices QMI</a><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/methodologies/producerpriceindicesqmi" style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></a></p><div><br></div>
