Industrial producer price index of paper and paper products in Italy 2019-2025
The industrial producer price index (PPI) of paper and paper products manufactured in Italy was 120 in February 2025. This value hit a record high in October 2022 when it reached 134, and despite decreasing over the following year, it was still around 25 points above pre-pandemic levels in 2025. The reason for the rise in paper prices is a paper shortage due to supply chain difficulties after the COVID pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
