The European Catering Services HICP data reveals significant variation between countries. In 2024, forecasts indicate high inflation in several Eastern European countries, such as the Czech Republic and Hungary, with double-digit figures. Western European countries, like Greece and France, have considerably lower figures, suggesting relative price stability.
Recent trends show a pattern of economic disparities within Europe, with Eastern nations experiencing rapid inflationary pressures on catering services. This could be attributed to varying economic recovery rates and contrasting fiscal policies across the continent.
Future trends to watch include how these price changes affect domestic catering industries and consumer behavior. The impact of global factors like supply chain disruptions, labor market dynamics, and energy prices on the HICP figures will also be critical.
