Data collected from this survey are used to produce two key measures of price change for the Canadian economy: the Industrial Product Price Index (IPPI) and the Raw Materials Price Index (RMPI). The IPPI measures price movements for products sold by manufacturers in Canada, and the RMPI measures price movements for raw materials purchased by manufacturers in Canada.
The products reported on this survey will be followed over time, and each month the price movements for these products are aggregated to produce the IPPI and the RMPI. Data for approximately 6,000 products are used to produce the IPPI and RMPI.
The IPPI and RMPI are used extensively by businesses for contract escalation and industry analysis. Statistics Canada uses these indexes to deflate current dollar values and derive estimates of real growth and productivity for the manufacturing sector.
Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes. In addition, information from partially completed or unsaved questionnaires may be retained and used.
