pricenxt in the electric drives 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 electric drive:

With the market ramp-up, the electric drive is being manufactured in sharply rising volumes; price movements in glass-fibre reinforced polyamides, PBT, and POM feed directly into material costs.

  • Demanding materials: thermoplastics resistant to heat and media for the motor, inverter and transmission are priced above standard plastics.

  • Glass-fibre reinforcement as a price factor: GF grades follow their own price path compared with the natural compounds and shape component costs.

  • Growing unit volumes: as electric vehicle production rises, material costs carry more weight in the powertrain.
