Report
LogicSource’s 2027 inflation forecast provides a cost-inflation outlook across the indirect categories we manage, grounded in our sourcing results, supplier engagement, and market intelligence.
Services inflation is staying sticky, AI and data-center demand is pushing IT hardware costs higher, and freight capacity is tightening again. At the same time, property insurance and natural gas are beginning to ease. 2027 won’t move in one direction, which is exactly why a single inflation assumption leaves budgets exposed.
This report delivers procurement inflation insights that finance and procurement leaders can act on: LogicSource’s low, high, and average 2027 projections across every category, so you can plan against real ranges rather than a blended number. Use them as the foundation for inflation management for procurement, prioritizing the negotiations, supplier discussions, and contract reviews that matter most before pricing resets.
