Germany’s producer prices fell 3.3% year-over-year in February 2026, deepening from a 3.0% decline recorded in January, according to data updated on 20 March 2026. The figures, measured on an annual basis, compare price levels in February 2026 with those in February 2025, underscoring ongoing deflationary pressure at the factory gate.

The February reading marks a further slide into negative territory for German producer prices, after January’s -3.0% year-over-year move. With producer prices often serving as a leading indicator for consumer inflation, the continued decline may signal persistent weakness in underlying price dynamics across the industrial sector.

The year-over-year comparison framework shows that both the current and previous readings reflect how much producer prices have fallen relative to the same month a year earlier, rather than month-to-month shifts. The latest data highlight that disinflationary forces in Germany’s production sector remained firmly in place at the start of 2026.
