The IRI has provided some pretty compelling data in terms of changes and trends; the average price in mass consumption has increased by 8.5% compared to the same month of the previous year, while in this year’s speech the rise has been 5.6%.
As for consumer sectors, the food sector has been the one that has risen the most in price (price/volume), with a very significant, even worrying, rise of 12.1%. They are followed by drugstore and cleaning (+9.8%), fresh produce (+6.9%) and beverages (+6.6%).
