In the Novosibirsk region for five years significantly increased the cost of residents for services

In the Novosibirsk region over the past five years, the structure of consumer spending has changed. Residents of the region began to allocate a large share of their funds to services, while reducing the share of costs for non-food products. This is evidenced by the data of Novosibirskstat for 2021-2025.

According to statistics, in 2021, payment for various services accounted for 21.2% of consumer spending, and by the end of 2025, this figure reached 26.2%. During the same period, the share of expenditure on non-food products decreased from 40.1 to 33.8%.

At the same time, the cost of food for home cooking remained almost at the same level. In 2021, their share was 34.6%, and in 2025 - 35%. However, in some years the indicator has changed markedly. So, in 2024, the purchase of products accounted for only 29.7% of spending.

The most significant changes occurred in the field of recreation and culture. If five years ago, 1% of consumer spending was spent on cultural events and entertainment, in 2025 the share increased to 4.6%.

Expenditure on education also increased from 0.9 to 2%. A similar trend is observed in the field of paid medicine, where the figure rose from 1.4 to 2%.

More often, money was allocated for food outside the home. The share of such expenses increased from 1.6% in 2021 to 2.5% in 2025.

Among non-food products, the most noticeable fluctuations were recorded in the transport category, which includes the purchase of cars, accessories and fuel. In 2021, these purposes accounted for 10% of consumer spending. In 2024, the indicator increased to 19.9%, but in 2025 it decreased to 9.2%.

At the same time, the share of costs for clothing and footwear decreased from 7.4 to 6.4%. Residents of the region in 2025 directed 4.3% of expenses on furniture and household goods against 4.9% five years earlier.

Thus, statistics indicate a redistribution of consumer spending in favor of services. At the same time, an increase in their share does not necessarily mean an increase in spending in absolute terms, since the structure of the budget depends on changes in prices for goods and services.

Earlier, MK in Novosibirsk reported on the change in demand for paid services in the region.
