I strongly doubt inflation will exceed high single digits, and will probably not even exceed middle single digits. The most likely outcome is that it will not deviate much from its current 2-3% average.

Globalization and free trade will hold inflation down at least for another generation. Developing countries have now learned the power of savings and there are still huge productivity leaps ahead of them. Both of these will keep a heavy lid on inflation. In another generation, world population will have started its long decline. The long term trend at that point will be deflation.
