The Consumer Edge CPG Pricing Index — powered by Basketview purchase data — shows year-over-year food price growth holding close to its highest levels of 2025 for the 4 weeks ended November 16th, although the acceleration has stabilized.
Inflation Pressures Remain Broad
Alongside the overall index, the breadth of price increases continues to send an important signal. More than half of all food categories are now experiencing +3% or greater YoY pricing, a share that has climbed steadily throughout the year. This confirms that current price strength is not being driven by a small set of volatile categories.
What to Watch Next on Food Price Growth
With recent rollbacks of tariffs on items such as beef and coffee, the next several weeks will provide an early test of how quickly any upstream cost relief can translate into shelf prices. Basketview’s near-real-time visibility will be essential for monitoring whether retailers and manufacturers begin to pass those savings through — and how meaningfully that affects category-level inflation.
