Charging posts, wallboxes, connectors and charging cables must be weather and UV resistant as well as electrically safe – this calls for PC, PC/ABS, PA GF, and PVC compounds, 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.
The build-out of charging infrastructure is increasing the volumes of engineering plastics installed; price movements in PC, PC/ABS and PVC compounds feed directly into material costs.
Growing rollout: the build-out of charging and rapid-charging points steadily raises the volumes of plastics installed.
Weather-resistant materials: UV-stable, impact-resistant PC and PC/ABS grades shape the cost of housings and covers.
Several relevant plastics: PC, PC/ABS, PA GF and PVC cable compounds are used 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 PC, PC/ABS, PA and PVC compounds, gauges the company’s own cost level and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
