French domestic producer prices rose by 0.5% month-on-month in January 2026, following an upwardly revised 0.3% increase in the previous month.

This marked the fourth straight month of growth, as prices rebounded for manufactured goods (0.3% vs -0.5% in December), coke and refined petroleum products (0.4% vs -11.7%), electrical, electronic, and computer equipment; machines (0.6% vs -0.2%), and transport equipment (0.4% vs -0.1%).

In contrast, costs declined for food products (-0.2% vs 0.3%), while inflation softened for extractive industries, energy, and water (1.2% vs 2.8%).

On an annual basis, the decline in producer prices intensified, dropping 2.3%, the sharpest since December 2024, compared with a 1.9% fall in December.

Excluding energy in the broadest sense (hydrocarbons, coke and refining products, electricity, etc.), industrial production prices rose by 0.3% month-on-month after remaining stable in December, and up 0.1% over a year after a 0.5% gain in the prior period.

French Producer Prices See Biggest Rise in a Year
French domestic producer prices rose 1.1% month-over-month in November 2025, after stalling in the previous period.

Costs for manufactured products also rebounded (+0.3% vs -0.1%), primarily attributed to a sharp rise in coke and refined petroleum products (6.3% vs -2.8%).
