European Frozen Fruit HICP by Country

France leads in the European Frozen Fruit Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) with a significant increase of 33.6% over the previous period. Slovenia and Croatia follow with 31% and 22%, respectively. Other notable increases occur in Germany (21.7%) and Hungary (20.1%). Lower increases are observed in Finland (1.2%), Montenegro (2%), and Iceland, which shows a decrease of 1%. Over the last two years, frozen fruit prices reflect a strong upward trend, largely driven by supply chain disruptions and rising costs within the region. The average annual growth over the past five years indicates a consistent upward trajectory in most countries.

Future trends anticipate continued fluctuations influenced by climatic changes impacting fruit production, economic recovery post-pandemic, and shifts in consumer preferences toward frozen fruit for health and convenience. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for stakeholders in the frozen fruit market.
