Components in the engine and transmission must withstand high temperatures, media, and sustained loads – this calls for high-grade engineering thermoplastics, whose prices determine 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.
Engine and transmission components are made in series production; price movements in glass-fibre reinforced polyamides, PBT, and POM feed directly into production costs.
Demanding materials: thermoplastics resistant to heat and media are priced well above standard plastics and dominate material costs.
Glass-fibre reinforcement as a price factor: GF grades and Reinforcements GF follow their own price path compared with the natural compounds.
Long series runs: up-to-date price data secures the calculation across multi-year supply contracts.



From procurement through to sales, pricenxt supports key decisions across the entire value chain.
Tracks price developments for PA, PBT and POM grades, benchmarks the company’s own level against the market and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
Assesses material alternatives and GF contents in terms of cost and selects materials with component requirements and price levels in view.
Calculates the effect of price movements on component prices and bases quotations over the life of the series on dependable market data.
Use pricenxt free for 30 days. Analyse price movements, forecasts and much more.

For engines and transmissions, the key materials are PA 6.6 GF and PA 6 GF (intake modules, brackets, covers), PBT GF (parts under thermal load) and POM (natural and GF) for precision gears and sliding elements.
Use our Plastixx and A-Plastixx indices free of charge, with no time limit. Track price developments for standard and engineering plastics, as well as across selected application markets.
