Pipes carry water, sewage, gas, and cables, last for decades underground and are extruded in long lengths – 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.
Pipes are produced from large material quantities in long extrusion runs; price movements in HDPE, PVC and PP feed straight through to production costs per metre.
High material share: in continuous extrusion the plastics price largely determines the cost per linear metre.
Several competing materials: HDPE, PVC and PP are used depending on the field of application – their prices develop in different directions.
A reliable basis for calculation: current price data makes tenders and project budgets more robust.



From procurement to sales: pricenxt supports key decisions along the entire value chain.
Tracks price trends for the plastics used, benchmarks the company’s own price level against the market and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
Assesses material classes and pipe 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.
