Polymer price data for industry

Industrial components place high demands on strength, function, and durability – and the plastics used are correspondingly varied, from HDPE and PVC through to engineering thermoplastics and fibre-reinforced materials, whose price development shapes component costs.

Why polymer prices matter for industry:

Many industrial applications use a range of plastics – from HDPE and PVC through to engineering thermoplastics and fibre-reinforced materials; movements in their prices feed through to production costs and margin.

  • Broad material base: from commodity plastics such as HDPE and PVC through to engineering plastics and reinforced compounds, material prices have a noticeable effect on component costs.

  • Wide material spectrum: from the PA-GF structural component to the PC housing, many polymer prices move in different directions.

  • Predictable calculation: transparent price developments make quotations, budgets, and negotiations more robust.

Relevant applications for industry

Explore how pricenxt supports individual industrial applications – from Structural components through Energy infrastructure to Defence technology.

  • Structural components
    Structural components have to carry loads – fibre-reinforced plastics as well as resin and glass fibre raw materials determine both strength and cost here.
    Learn more
  • Functional parts
    Functional parts such as gears and bearings need precise, wear-resistant plastics – POM and the polyamides dominate, and their prices count.
    Learn more
  • Energy infrastructure
    Pipes, cables, and connection technology in energy infrastructure use large volumes of HDPE and PVC – price movements feed straight into project costs.
    Learn more
  • Housings & covers
    Housings and covers use ABS, PC, and PC/ABS blends – appearance, impact resistance and material costs depend directly on polymer prices.
    Learn more
  • Defence technology
    Defence technology calls for highly resilient materials – PC, PMMA, the polyamides and resin and glass fibre raw materials determine protection and material costs.

Which plastics are relevant for industry?

In the industrial environment, engineering thermoplastics such as PA, POM, PBT and PC together with glass-fibre-reinforced compounds play a central role. Energy infrastructure additionally consumes large volumes of HDPE and PVC. For thermoset, fibre-reinforced components we report resin (UP ortho resins, medium reactive) and glass fibre reinforcements separately.
