The change in household consumption patterns is dependent on various factors, and the interplay of these factors ultimately determines the consumption patterns of households and individuals. Among these numerous factors affecting consumption patterns, income levels and price changes of goods and services play a significant role.

This program from the 'A, B, Economy' series examines the change in Iranian consumption patterns from 2002 to 2015, and one of the results obtained from this study is a 12-fold increase in the food price index during this 14-year period.
