Polymer price data for charging & charging infrastructure

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.

pricenxt in the charging infrastructure 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 charging & charging infrastructure:

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.
