The mobility and transport sector is one of the largest end-use sectors for a wide range of plastics – from the vehicle interior and the body through to the powertrain and electronics, price movements in the polymers used feed directly into costs and calculation.
With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
Why polymer prices matter for mobility & transport:
Vehicles are built in high volumes and with a wide variety of materials; even small price movements in the plastics used have a noticeable effect on material costs and margin across the entire production run.
Wide material variety: from PP compound to polyamide, numerous plastics are used in parallel, and their prices develop in different directions.
Large series volumes: at high unit numbers, even small price differences add up to considerable sums.
Long programme runtimes: vehicle projects run for years – dependable price data underpins calculation and renegotiation.
