Trends and Insights
Energy costs are easing but will stay above pre-crisis levels for years
- The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) forecasts that consumer price inflation will average 3.2% in 2025 and 2.1% in 2026, reflecting more stable input cost growth after two years of volatility. The OBR also projected that wholesale gas prices will peak at 4.4p per kWh in 2025 before gradually easing in the next few years. While this indicates calmer energy markets, average prices are expected to remain well above pre-2021 levels. For mattress manufacturers, energy-intensive steps like spring tempering, foam bonding and fabric finishing will continue to shape production costs and planning.
