What this consumer health inflation page covers

This cornerstone tracks common consumer health retail goods as price-index journalism. It is built for retail price movement, city comparison, and source coverage; it is not medical advice or a product recommendation.

Retail goods only

The basket includes supplements, electrolyte powder, adhesive bandages, thermometers, chewable antacids, oral allergy medicine, acetaminophen, and ibuprofen. It does not cover prescriptions, clinical services, telehealth, efficacy, safety claims, or treatment decisions.

Use component pages for drivers

Supplements, first-aid products, devices, and over-the-counter medicines can move differently. The component pages show whether the composite is moving because of one shelf or because the broader retail health basket changed.

Best use

Use this page for the broad retail health goods inflation trend, then inspect the support pages when a city or week changes and you need the product-level source of the move.

Consumer Health Retail Goods Inflation Methodology

CostInflation's Representative Price Index for consumer-health retail goods composite is our daily estimate of the typical shelf price shoppers are seeing, based on observed retail listings that are cleaned up and made comparable before they are averaged into one public number. We reduce the influence of unusual one-off prices so the index reflects the middle of the market, then combine component prices using the index's standard package sizes and weights. Charts can also show lower band, medium band and upper band.
