Insights

Output prices for manufactured goods in the Netherlands fell 1.7 per cent year-on-year in December 2025, deepening from a 0.4 per cent decline in November, CBS said.
The drop was driven by lower crude oil prices, which fell sharply year on year, pulling down petroleum derivatives and chemical prices.
Output prices also declined month on month, across both export and domestic markets.

Statistics Netherlands (CBS) has reported that output prices for products manufactured in the Netherlands were 1.7 per cent lower in December 2025, year on year. In November, prices were 0.4 per cent lower year-on-year.

Output prices generally reflect the price of crude oil. In December 2025, a barrel of crude cost €52.5 (~$62.21), down by nearly 25 per cent year on year. In November 2025, the average price of a barrel of North Sea Brent crude stood at almost €55 (~$65.18), down by over 20 per cent year on year.

Prices for petroleum derivatives were down by 15.7 per cent in December, year on year, while in November they were down by 2.5 per cent. Output prices in the chemical sector also tend to track the price of crude oil. In December 2025, output prices for chemical products were 4.5 per cent lower than they were in December 2024. In November, they were down by 4.2 per cent year on year, CBS said in a press release.

Output prices fell by 1.1 per cent in December compared to November. On the export markets, prices fell by 1.4 per cent, while on the domestic market they were down by 0.6 per cent.
