The Producer Price Index for Construction Materials measures the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output (a bit like the wholesale price for raw materials or services). The default view shows the 12-month percent change, but the index values are available too. PPI for Construction Materials measures price change from the perspective of the seller and provides local governments with a glimpse into how wholesale construction material prices are changing. Such changes can impact the cost and scale of projects important to local governments like infrastructure.
