Polymer price data for decoration

Decorative articles live from shape, colour, and surface finish – and are offered at price-sensitive levels in retail. The plastics used account for a considerable share of unit costs.

Why polymer prices matter for decoration:

Decorative articles are produced seasonally and in large volumes; price movements in PS, PP and PVC feed straight into the calculation of margin-sensitive products.

  • Strong price competition: for decorative articles, even a small difference in material price often decides the margin.

  • Variety of materials: from PS and PMMA through PP to PVC – different plastics are used depending on appearance and processing.

  • Seasonal planning: current price data underpins calculation and purchasing ahead of seasonal orders.
