Medical products range from the simple single-use item to the complex device housing. They are manufactured in large series and under strict approval requirements – and material prices are a central cost driver.

Companies that rely on pricenxt




With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
Medical products are manufactured in large, often validated series; price movements in engineering plastics and standard plastics feed straight through to manufacturing costs.
High unit numbers: with series products, even a small price difference decides the total cost.
Several materials in one product: housings, functional parts, and visible parts use different plastics, whose prices develop separately.
Approved material specifications: the specific material specification forms part of the assessed product design; a change of material calls for a documented risk-based review and, where applicable, renewed verification, and validation. Early price transparency improves certainty in calculation and procurement.



From procurement to management: pricenxt supports key decisions along the entire value chain.
Tracks the price development of the plastics used, positions the company’s own price level against the market and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
Assesses material alternatives and specifications for medical products in terms of cost and factors price differences in as early as the design of new products.
Keeps the material cost base in view, identifies margin risks at an early stage and bases strategic decisions on dependable market data.
