Insulation reduces the energy demand of buildings, meets strict construction requirements and is produced in large volumes – raw material prices are a central cost driver here.

Companies that rely on pricenxt




With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
Insulation materials are produced in very large volumes; price movements in EPS, XPS and PUR/PIR feed straight through to production costs.
High material share: for insulation boards and foams the raw material determines the bulk of total costs.
Several competing materials: EPS, XPS and PUR/PIR are used according to requirement – their prices develop in different directions.
A reliable basis for calculation: current price data makes tenders and budgets more robust.



From procurement to sales: pricenxt supports key decisions along the entire value chain.
Tracks price trends for the insulation raw materials used, benchmarks the company’s own price level against the market and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
Assesses insulation alternatives and specifications in terms of cost and calculates the effect of price movements on the product portfolio.
Keeps the material cost base in view, identifies margin risks at an early stage and bases strategic decisions on dependable market data.

For insulation, rigid polystyrene foams (EPS, XPS) and rigid polyurethane foams (PUR/PIR) are particularly relevant. EPS and XPS are converted into insulation boards, while PUR/PIR made from MDI and polyols goes into insulation boards and in-situ foam.
