pricenxt in the consumer electronics / brown goods sector

With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.

Why polymer prices matter for consumer electronics / brown goods:

Brown goods rely on large volumes of housing plastics; where unit numbers are high, price movements in ABS, PC/ABS or HIPS have a noticeable effect on production costs.

  • High volume throughput: with series products, even a small price difference decides the total cost.

  • Several competing materials: ABS, PC/ABS and HIPS are specified according to the requirement – and their prices develop differently.

  • A reliable basis for calculation: current price data makes quotations and budgets more robust.
