Methodological note

Household consumption expenditure is classified according to the new classification of consumption expenditure, ECOICOP 2018, structured into 13 broad groups:

  • Group 1: Food and non-alcoholic beverages
  • Group 2: Alcoholic beverages and tobacco
  • Group 3: Clothing and footwear
  • Group 4: Housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels
  • Group 5: Furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance
  • Group 6: Health
  • Group 7: Transport
  • Group 8: Information and communication
  • Group 9: Leisure
  • Group 10: Education
  • Group 11: Restaurants and accommodation services
  • Group 12: Financial services
  • Group 13: Personal care and other services

Expenditure is classified according to the Classification of the Functions of Individual Consumption (COICOP/HBS) until 2015. From 2016 onwards, the European Classification of the Functions of Individual Consumption (ECOICOP) is used. These two classifications are not entirely comparable.

From 2024 onwards, it has been included the new United Nations International Classification of Consumption known as ECOICOP 2018 (European Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose), which replaces the classification that had been used since 2016.

The Statistics on Household Consumer Expenditures are conducted upon the basis of the Family Budget Survey carried out each year by the INE. Idescat processes this data in detail on a yearly basis, expanding the results for Catalonia.
