In July 2025, Austria witnessed a 0.1% year-on-year decline in wholesale prices, reversing a 0.2% increase observed in the preceding month.

Despite these reductions, there were notable annual price surges in categories such as coffee, tea, cocoa, and spices, which surged by 28.7%, watches and jewellery by 18.9%, live animals by 16.5%, and non-alcoholic beverages by 9.7%. Price increases were also recorded for fruits and vegetables (up 7.7%), meat and meat products (up 6.0%), and dairy products, eggs, edible oils, and fats (up 5.7%).
