Connectors, fuse boxes, sensor housings, and cables make up the on-board electrics – this calls for PA, PBT, PC/ABS, and PVC, whose prices shape component costs.

Companies that rely on pricenxt




With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
Electrical components are fitted in very large numbers; price movements in PA, PBT and PVC cable compounds feed directly into the material costs per vehicle.
High component count per vehicle: connectors and housings are fitted in large numbers – small price differences add up markedly.
Several competing materials: PA GF, PBT, and PC/ABS for components, flexible PVC for cables – and their prices move in different directions.
Growing electronics share: as vehicle electronics increase, material costs carry ever more weight in this segment.



From procurement through to sales, pricenxt supports key decisions across the entire value chain.
Monitors the prices of PA, PBT and PVC compounds, gauges the company’s own cost level, and strengthens its negotiating position with suppliers.
Selects materials for connectors and housings by requirement and cost and assesses material alternatives against up-to-date price data.
Keeps the material cost base of wiring harness and electrical components in view and spots margin risks early across the programme life.
