The price development of crude oil generally has a strong influence on the selling prices of the industry. In October, a barrel of North Sea Brent crude oil cost 55 euros, more than 20 percent less than a year earlier. In September, a barrel of North Sea Brent crude oil cost just over 57 euros. That was more than 12 percent less than a year earlier.
Products of the petroleum industry were 5.7 percent cheaper in October than in October 2024. In September 2025, prices were 0.1 percent higher than a year earlier. The selling prices of the chemical industry also generally correlate with the oil price. The selling prices of the chemical industry were 3.3 percent lower in October than a year earlier. In September, prices were 4.0 percent lower year on year.
The selling prices of the industry fell by 0.5 percent in October compared to September. Prices on the foreign market fell by an average of 0.7 percent, while prices on the domestic market fell by 0.1 percent.
