Canada's Raw Materials Price Index (RMPI) has maintained its pace, concluding December 2025 with a steady rate of 6.4%, unchanged from the previous month. This marks a period of stability for the Canadian RMPI, which measures the price changes of raw materials purchased by manufacturers in the country.
The data, updated on January 21, 2026, indicates a year-over-year comparison with December 2024, showing the same rate of 6.4%. The consistency in the index from November to December 2025 suggests that while external economic conditions may have shifted, the pricing for raw materials has held firm during this two-month period.
This steady RMPI may reflect the balancing impact of global market conditions, domestic demand, and supply chain dynamics in the raw materials market in Canada. Industries reliant on these materials might consider this stability beneficial for forecasting costs and pricing strategies into the early months of 2026.
