Global Industry | Spiking producer prices will subside before long
Rising raw materials prices, supply-chain disruptions, and surging shipping costs are raising expenses for producers, boosting near-term global inflationary pressures. We believe this burst of producer price inflation will prove temporary.
What you will learn from this report:
- We see stresses beginning to ease in H2 2021 as supply-side problems gradually resolve and easing lockdown restrictions reduce price pressure on in-demand sectors such as e-commerce and postal services.
- The pandemic’s legacy could increase wage pressures due to reduced
migration, reshoring, and lower labour participation. However, other constraints on wages could strengthen, such as increased automation and elevated unemployment. - We project global producer price inflation will experience a spike this
year, especially in emerging markets and the US. But it won’t persist.
