Greenhouse, mulch and silage films are produced in large volumes and used over large areas. They consist mainly of polyethylene. Because of the high material input, even small price changes in the polymers can feed straight through to production 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.
Agricultural films are produced in large volumes and used over large areas. Because of their low film thickness, material costs are a substantial part of production costs, so that price changes in polyethylene and in EVA-containing films can take effect immediately.
Very high material share: with thin films, the largest part of the cost falls on the polymer itself.
Several film types: LDPE, LLDPE and EVA are combined according to light transmission and strength – and their prices do not move in step.
Large order volumes: even small price differences per kilogramme add up considerably when material is used by the tonne.



From procurement through to sales: pricenxt supports key decisions along the entire value chain.
Tracks price developments for PE and EVA, places the company’s own purchasing level in context and prepares supplier negotiations with dependable market data.
Assesses film formulations and material alternatives in terms of cost and estimates the effect of price movements on individual product lines.
Calculates quotations on a current price basis, justifies price adjustments to customers, and secures margins on long-running supply contracts.

For agricultural films, LDPE, and LLDPE dominate. EVA is added to greenhouse films to improve their thermal and optical properties. PP is used above all for tapes, woven fabrics, and spunbonded nonwovens (agrotextiles).
