pricenxt in the tools & DIY 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 tools & DIY:

Tools use demanding engineering plastics; price movements in ABS, PA and POM feed straight into the production costs of hard-wearing components.

  • Demanding requirements: impact resistance and load capacity lead to a targeted material choice with a corresponding price effect.

  • Several competing materials: ABS, PA, PP, POM and PC/ABS are used depending on the component – their prices develop differently.

  • Reliable basis for calculation: current price data makes quotations and series costing more dependable.
