Polymer price data for electromobility

Battery systems, high-voltage components and charging infrastructure are growing rapidly – this calls for engineering thermoplastics such as PA, PBT, and PC/ABS, whose prices shape material costs.

pricenxt in the electromobility 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 electromobility:

The ramp-up of electromobility is increasing the volumes of engineering thermoplastics installed; price movements in PA, PBT and PC/ABS feed directly into production costs and calculation.

  • Strongly growing volumes: as electric vehicle production rises, the volumes of plastics installed, and their share of component costs increase.

  • Demanding requirements: flame retardancy, heat resistance, and electrical properties call for higher-value materials that follow their own price path.

  • Many relevant plastics: PA, PBT, PC/ABS and PC are combined according to the component – and their prices move in different directions.
