The long term trend for labour cost inflation continued, but data across France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Czechia and Hungary shows wall to wall increases in Q2. However, an emerging trend is the higher speed of cost growth in Eastern Europe when compared to Western Europe. The labour cost index for Hungary is now up to 165.6 in Q2 2025, while in Poland the index hit 166.6 in Q2, both from a base of 100 in 2020. If we compare that to France, the index has risen to 117.1 over the same period, whereas in Germany it hit 121.2 in Q2. There has been an ongoing trend for new logistics hubs to be created in Eastern Europe in recent years, largely driven by access to cheaper land and labour. However, if this divergence in the pace of labour cost growth continues, it may threaten the economics of some of those decisions.This data is available to GSCi subscribers.
