Polymer price data for packaging

Packaging is one of the largest end-use sectors for plastics. Because part costs for the individual pack are low and the polymers used account for a high share of the overall calculation, price movements feed through more directly here than in other areas.

pricenxt in the packaging sector

With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.

Why polymer prices matter for packaging:

Packaging is produced in large volumes; even small price movements in the polymers used have a noticeable effect on material costs and margin.

  • High share of material costs: the polymer price determines a large part of the production costs of packaging.

  • Many relevant plastics: packaging draws on a broad range of standard plastics whose prices develop in different ways.

  • Predictable procurement: transparent price developments make quotations, budget planning, and negotiations easier.
