Small domestic appliances such as food processors, kettles and vacuum cleaners are made in high unit numbers and combine visible and functional components in a range of plastics – 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.
Small domestic appliances rely on large volumes of engineering and standard plastics; where unit numbers are high, price movements in ABS, PC/ABS or PP have a noticeable effect on production costs.
High volume throughput: with mass-market articles, even a small price difference decides the total cost.
Several competing materials: ABS, PC/ABS and PP are specified according to the requirement – and their prices develop differently.
A reliable basis for calculation: current price data makes quotations and budgets more robust.



From procurement to engineering: pricenxt supports key decisions right across the value chain.
