What is PMMA?
PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate, acrylic) is an amorphous thermoplastic; outstanding transparency, weathering, and UV resistance, optically brilliant.
Where is PMMA used?
Luminaires and light guides, displays, and viewing panels, signage, automotive rear lights, sanitary ware, and architectural glazing.

What makes PMMA distinctive?
PMMA stands for brilliant optics and weathering resistance. Price series make regions and transaction types straightforward to compare.
Material and price logic
PMMA is highly transparent and resistant to UV and weathering. Regionally differing sourcing routes shape price formation.
- Acrylic: highly transparent, weather-, and UV-resistant.
- Regions and transaction types: contract, manufacturer direct and spot quotations from Western Europe and China allow detailed comparison.
- Application relevance: important for lighting, displays, and viewing panels.
Market relevance
PMMA prices are relevant for companies that purchase, cost or have to account for optical and transparent materials 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, PMMA 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.
