What is HDPE?
HDPE is a semi-crystalline standard thermoplastic with a linear, densely packed molecular structure; stiff, chemically resistant, suited to blow moulding, and extrusion.
Where is HDPE used?
Hollow articles (bottles, canisters), pipes, containers, crates, and films.

Top 5 application markets for HDPE
pricenxt provides structured price data and analysis views for HDPE, supporting a consistent basis for planning, procurement, and pricing.
-
Beverage packagingBeverage packaging is strongly PET-driven – PET price movements feed through particularly directly here.Learn more
-
Non-food packagingNon-food packaging combines PP, PE, PS, PVC, and PET – a broad material mix with differing price dynamics.Learn more
-
Industrial packagingIndustrial packaging consumes large volumes of PE and PP – from stretch films to jerrycans, polymer prices feed directly into unit costs.Learn more
-
PipesPipes consist predominantly of HDPE, PVC, and PP – price movements feed directly into the cost per metre.Learn more
-
Food packagingFood packaging uses large volumes of PE, PP, and PET – price movements feed directly into unit costs.Learn more

What makes HDPE distinctive?
HDPE combines stiffness and chemical resistance for containers and pipes. Price series make regions and transaction types comparable in a transparent way.
Material and price logic
HDPE is stiff, impact-resistant, and suited to blow moulding. Regionally different sourcing routes shape price formation.
- Versatile standard plastic: for hollow articles, pipes, containers, and films.
- Regions and transaction types: contract, manufacturer direct as well as spot imports and spot domestic allow detailed comparison.
- Market relevance: sensitive to the olefin cost base and construction/packaging cycles.
Market relevance
HDPE prices matter for companies that have to buy container-, pipe-, and packaging-related materials, cost them or take them into account in price negotiations.
- Procurement: teams can factor price movements into their purchasing plans at an early stage.
- Pricing: price series support structured discussions on material costs and price adjustment mechanisms.
- Controlling: price histories help document cost assumptions in a traceable way.
Analysis in pricenxt
In pricenxt, HDPE price data can be analysed in a structured way using configurable filters, interactive charts, and boards.
- Variant comparison: different price series can be set against one another in a single chart.
- Period analysis: you choose the observation period freely and add trend lines or regressions.
- Saving to boards: relevant analyses can be saved as a card on a board and shared.
