In June 2025, producer prices in the French industry were virtually stable after three consecutive months of decline (+0.1% after -0.9% in May, -3.9% in April and -1,1% in March). The decline in producer prices slowed for products sold on the home market (-0.2% after -0.9%). Prices of products intended for foreign markets rebounded (+0.7% after -0.5% in May). Over a year, French industrial producer prices continued to decrease (-0.5% after -0.8% in May).

Excluding energy, producer prices in the French industry were stable over a month (after -0.1% in May) and increased over a year (+0.9% as in May).

In June 2025, producer prices in the French industry for the home market decreased slightly over a month (-0.2% after -0.9% in May): the drop in prices for mining and quarrying products, energy, and water eased (-1.8% after -3.9% in May), while those for manufactured products rose (+0.3% after a stability in May). Over a year, producer prices in the French industry for the home market rose slightly (+0.2% after a stability in May).

In June 2025, the fall in prices for mining and quarrying products, energy, and water moderated (-1.8% after -3.9% in May), mainly due to a less pronounced drop in electricity prices (-4.8% after -7.8%): the decline in prices charged to businesses was offset by the rise in wholesale market prices linked to the heatwave (which increased demand for air conditioning while reducing nuclear and hydroelectric power production). Over a year, prices for mining and quarrying products, energy, and water fell for the nineteenth consecutive month (-3.5% after -2.9%), mainly due to those of electricity.

Electronic equipment and machinery prices declined slightly over a month (-0.2% after -0.1% in May), driven by lower prices of electronic components (-1.7% after -0.8% in May). Over a year, they rose by 0.4% (after +0.5% in May).

Prices for refined petroleum products rose significantly over a month (+5.8% after -0.9 % in May), driven by a strong rebound in world oil prices, slightly mitigated by the euro's appreciation against the dollar over the same period. However, over a year, prices of refined petroleum products continued to fall sharply (-15.8% after -20.6% in May).

Food and beverages prices continued to rise in June (+0.3% after +0.2% in May), driven by higher prices for dairy and cheese products (+1.1% after +0.2%) linked to raw material costs. Over a year, food and beverages prices continued to rise (+3.5% after +3.1% in May).

Prices for “other industrial products” rebounded over a month (+0.2% in June after -0.2% in May). They were driven by higher prices for pharmaceutical preparations (+1.1% after -1.0%). Over a year, prices for “other industrial products” increased by 1.0% (after +0.8% in May).

Prices of transport equipment were virtually stable over a month (+0.1% after -0,1% in May). Over a year, they accelerated (+0.6% after +0.3%).

In June 2025, industrial producer prices for foreign markets rebounded over a month (+0.7% after -0.5%). Prices for manufactured products declined (-0.3% after -0.2%), while those for mining and quarrying products, energy and water rose strongly (due to the important increase in electricity prices on wholesale markets).

Prices for refined petroleum products rebounded significantly in June (+4.1% after -1.3% in May).

The decline in prices for transport equipment intensified over a month (-0.7% after -0.1% in May).

Prices for food and beverages fell slightly (-0.2% after +0.2% in May), driven by a decrease in those for distilled alcoholic beverages (-1.2% after -0.2%) linked to the depreciation of the dollar against the euro. Prices for electronic equipment and machinery also fell back slightly (-0.2% after +0.1% in May).

Finally, prices for “other industrial products” continued to fall (-0.3% as in May), driven once again by those of plastics in primary forms (-2.6% after -3.1%).

Prices for refined petroleum products rebounded sharply over a month (+7.9% after -2.5% in May).

The increase in food and beverages prices slowed over a month (+0.3% after +0.5% in May): this rise was supported both by an increase in prices for processed and preserved meat (+2.4% after +1.5%) in a context of strong demand, as well as by the continued rise in those of cocoa, chocolate and sugar confectionery (+2.0% after +2.1% in May), linked to higher prices of butter, spreads and cocoa in a context of a weak agricultural supply.

Prices for electronic equipment and machinery fell by 0.5% over a month (after a stability in May), due to the decline in those for other general-purpose machinery (-2.0% after +3.2% in May). Prices for “other industrial products” declined again (-0.5% after -0.4%), driven by lower prices for other organic basic chemicals (-1.8% after -3.0%).
