Food inflation in the EU is expected to outpace overall inflation in 2025. Eurostat data put the rise in prices for food and non-alcoholic beverages at 3.3%, compared with an overall inflation rate of 2.5%.
In the eurozone, the European Central Bank projects that food inflation will ease as the impact of earlier increases in global food commodity prices and adverse summer weather fades, before stabilising slightly above 2% by late 2026.
