Polymer price data for medical & healthcare
The healthcare sector converts plastics in large volumes and under demanding purity and approval requirements – from single-use products through to durable medical aids. Movements in the polymers used can feed through to material costs and calculation.

Why polymer prices matter for medical & healthcare:
Medical single-use products are frequently manufactured in high unit numbers; even small price movements in the polymers used have a noticeable effect on material costs and margin.
High share of single-use products: large volumes of consumables make the material price a decisive lever on cost.
Broad material spectrum: from PP and PE through medical-grade PVC to PC and PMMA, many plastics are in use, and their prices develop differently.
Long product life cycles: approved material specifications cannot be changed at short notice – which makes it all the more important to spot price developments early.
