Export Price Index (IPRIX) and Import Price Index (IPRIM) of Industrial Products. Base 2021

June 2026. Provisional data

Main results

  • The annual rate of the IPRIX stood at 3.3% in June, eight tenths lower than the May rate.
  • The annual variation of the IPRIM was 5.7%, four tenths lower than the previous month.

Annual evolution of export prices

The annual rate for the Export Price Index (IPRIX) in June was 3.3%, which was eight tenths below that recorded in May.

Among the industrial sectors that had a negative influence on the evolution of the annual rate of the IPRIX by economic use of the goods the following stand out:

  • Energy, whose annual variation of 18.3%, 25.7 points below that of May, was due to falling prices in Manufacture of petroleum, which had increased in June 2025, and to the prices in Electric power generation, transmission and distribution rising less than in the same month last year.

Meanwhile, standing out among the industrial sectors that had a positive influence on the evolution of the rate was:

  • Intermediate goods, whose rate rose by six tenths to 5.8%, the highest since February 2023. This behaviour was caused by the rise in prices of the Manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys, compared to the decrease in the same month of 2025, and due to the increase in prices of the Manufacture of basic precious and other non-ferrous metals, higher than that of last June.

The annual variation of the general index excluding Energy increased by two tenths, to 2.3%, standing nearly 1.0 points below that of the general IPRIX.

Evolution of industrial prices, combining domestic and foreign markets

The Industrial Price Index for the domestic and foreign market, which is the result of aggregating the IPRI and the IPRIX, decreased its annual rate by 2.6 points in June, to 5.9%. As for the annual variation of the general index without Energy, it increased by two tenths, to 3.1%.

Monthly evolution of export prices

Industrial export prices registered a monthly rate of -0.1% in June as compared with May.

Annual evolution of import prices

The Import Price Index (IPRIM) registered an annual rate of 5.7% in June, a decrease of four tenths from that of May.

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

  • Energy, which had an annual variation of 16.0%, 5.4 points below that of previous month, resulting from lower prices in Extraction of crude petroleum and natural gas and, to a lesser extent, Coke plants and oil refining, as opposed to the increase in the same month in 2025.

Meanwhile, standing out among the industrial sectors that had a positive influence on the evolution of the rate was:

  • Intermediate goods, with an annual rate of 6.8%, 1.2 points above that of May, due to the increase in prices of the Chemical Industry and, to a lesser extent, Metallurgy; manufacturing of iron, steel and ferroalloy products, which fell the previous June.

The annual variation rate of the overall index excluding Energy increased six tenths, to 2.9%, which is 2.8 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 March 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.

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.
