pricenxt is a web-based market and price intelligence platform for plastics raw materials – virgin material and recyclates. It is aimed at specialists and decision-makers who want to systematically monitor and assess raw-material price trends and factor them into procurement, sales, or corporate decisions.

Typical members are buyers and procurement professionals, product managers, sales managers, as well as general, and divisional managers in plastics processing, chemicals, compounding, recycling, distribution, and adjacent industries. The platform is built on editorially gathered and verified market and price data, complemented by price trends and 6-month forecasts.

The data in pricenxt is gathered by our own analysts, who are in regular, direct contact with companies from the plastics industry. This information is complemented by data from selected partners in the field of market price intelligence. All information is verified, checked for plausibility, and put into expert context before it is made available.

Contract prices are updated monthly, usually by the 5th calendar day of the following month. Spot prices are updated weekly. The update timestamp is transparently displayed on every price insight page. Detailed information on the methodology can be found at pricenxt.com/en/methodology.

pricenxt is built on the market expertise of Kunststoff Information (KI) and Plastics Information Europe (PIE) – both established specialist information services for the plastics industry with many years of experience in gathering and contextualising raw-material prices. This editorial expertise is embedded directly into the platform.

In addition, pricenxt is one of the first services in this market segment to offer concrete 6-month price forecasts for selected commodities. This gives members not only a retrospective view of past price developments, but also data-based guidance for upcoming procurement decisions – at a price that is significantly below established competitor offerings.

Yes. pricenxt can be tested free of charge for 30 days. Registration always begins with the trial period and includes one seat. During this time, the functions and data areas of the chosen subscription are available.

To register, you need a business email address, your company details, and a payment method: credit card or SEPA mandate. After 30 days the trial converts automatically into a paid subscription unless you cancel beforehand. If you cancel, your access moves to pricenxt Free.

pricenxt covers a broad selection of plastics raw materials, including the most important standard plastics, engineering plastics, and selected recyclates. A current overview of all available commodities, price series, and regions can be found at pricenxt.com/en/raw-materials.

The platform is continuously expanded with new raw materials and regions. If you need a specific commodity or market that you cannot find in the overview, you can report your requirement to feedback@pricenxt.com.

For selected price series, pricenxt offers 6-month forecasts. These forecasts are based on the gathered market data, trend analyses, and the assessment of the pricenxt analysts. They are not a guarantee of future price developments, but a robust, data-based aid for procurement planning, and strategic decisions.

In addition, price trends are available that classify the direction of development of currently monitored markets. Forecast information is part of the paid subscription and is not included in pricenxt Free.

The prices in pricenxt reflect the market price level based on gathered market information – not the individual purchase price of a single company. Your actual purchase price depends on a wide range of individual factors: delivery terms (e.g. ExWorks, DDP), purchase volume, contract durations, regional specifics, and your negotiating position.

The added value of pricenxt lies in placing your own price level in relation to the market: Am I above or below the market? How are prices for my raw material developing? This contextualisation is the basis for well-founded procurement and sales decisions.

Compared to similar market data services for the plastics industry, pricenxt is available at a significantly lower price. You can find the exact terms and available subscriptions at pricenxt.com or directly during the registration process.

As a general rule: every subscription starts with a free 30-day trial. This way, you can assess the value of the platform for your company yourself before making a purchase decision. For individual questions about pricing or team access, the sales team is happy to help.

Yes. pricenxt is designed for team use from the outset. Every subscription initially includes one member account. Additional members can be added directly within the application. Each member receives their own access with personal settings and access rights.

Teams can work together on boards and saved views and share relevant content. This also makes pricenxt suitable for cross-departmental use – for example, when procurement, controlling, and product management monitor raw-material prices together.
