What is polyamide?
Polyamide is the umbrella term for the semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastics PA 6 and PA 6.6, which we report separately.
Both offer high strength, toughness and abrasion resistance and are frequently glass-fibre reinforced. PA 6.6 leads PA 6 on melting point, stiffness, and heat deflection temperature, while PA 6 is the easier of the two to process.

Where is polyamide used?
Under-bonnet and structural parts in automotive engineering, connectors and housings (electrical engineering), technical fibres, and functional parts.

Top 5 application markets for polyamide
pricenxt delivers structured price data and analysis views for polyamide, supporting a consistent basis for planning, procurement, and pricing.
-
Engines & transmissionsEngine and transmission components use thermoplastics resistant to heat and media – price movements feed directly into component costs.Learn more
-
Automotive electrical systemsConnectors, housings and cables in on-board electrics use PA, PBT, and PVC – price movements feed directly into component costs.Learn more
-
Textiles & clothingTextiles & clothing are based on PET, PA, PP, and PUR raw materials – price movements feed straight into fibre and material costs.Learn more
-
Functional partsFunctional parts such as gears and bearings need precise, wear-resistant plastics – POM and the polyamides dominate, and their prices count.Learn more
-
Housings & coversHousings and covers use ABS, PC, and PC/ABS blends – appearance, impact resistance and material costs depend directly on polymer prices.Learn more

What makes polyamide distinctive?
Polyamide is the engineering standard for load-bearing components. Price series make regions and transaction types straightforward to compare.
Material and price logic
PA combines strength, toughness, and abrasion resistance, often glass-fibre reinforced. Regionally differing sourcing routes shape price formation.
- Engineering standard: strong, tough, abrasion-resistant, and often glass-fibre reinforced.
- Regions and transaction types: contract, manufacturer direct and spot quotations from Western Europe and China allow detailed comparison.
- Application relevance: important for under-bonnet, electrical, and industrial parts.
Market relevance
Polyamide prices are relevant for companies that purchase, cost or have to account for engineering materials close to automotive and E&E 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, polyamide 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.
