Year-over-year online price change in select product categories U.S. 2024

According to data from August 2024, online prices in the United States slightly decreased compared to the previous year, showing signs that inflationary pressures are gradually easing in many e-commerce segments. For instance, online prices in the electronics category decreased 5.31 percent year-over-year, and computers in particular have seen their online prices decrease nearly 9.7 percent compared to August 2023. While other segments like grocery and personal care are still experiencing online price increases (0.48 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively), inflation in those categories is slowing down compared to the double-digit monthly price increases experienced in those segments in 2022.
