Austria’s wholesale prices rose sharply in September 2026, with the year-over-year, non-seasonally adjusted wholesale price index advancing 10.2%, according to data updated on 6 October 2026. The move marks a notable acceleration from August 2026, when wholesale prices were up 8.2% compared with a year earlier.
Measured on a year-over-year basis, the latest reading indicates that price pressures at the wholesale level are intensifying as the comparison to the same month a year ago shows a faster pace of increase than in the previous month. The August figure reflected the change between August 2026 and August 2025, while the current 10.2% reading captures the change between September 2026 and September 2025.
The pickup in wholesale inflation may signal rising cost pressures building in the supply chain, which could feed through to consumer prices in the coming months if sustained. Investors and policymakers are likely to monitor upcoming releases closely for signs of whether this acceleration in Austrian wholesale prices persists or begins to moderate.
