Battery modules need lightweight, dimensionally stable, and flame-retardant plastics for housings, cell holders, and trays – PA, PBT, PP compounds, and PC/ABS determine component costs here.

Companies that rely on pricenxt




With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
With the electromobility ramp-up, battery systems are being manufactured in sharply rising volumes; price movements in the thermoplastics used feed straight through to material costs.
Large components, high volumes: module housings, and trays consume a lot of material – the polymer price shapes production costs noticeably.
Flame retardancy as a price factor: flame-retardant and reinforced compounds follow their own price path compared with standard grades.
Competition between materials: PA GF, PP compounds, and PC/ABS compete depending on the component – and their prices move in different directions.



From procurement through to sales, pricenxt supports key decisions across the entire value chain.
Tracks the price development of PA, PBT and PP compounds, gauges the company’s own level and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
Assesses materials and reinforcement levels for housings and cell holders by cost and requirement and factors price movements into the selection.
Calculates the effect of price movements on system costs and bases programme decisions on dependable market data.
