What is POM?
POM (polyoxymethylene, polyacetal) is a semi-crystalline engineering thermoplastic; stiff, hard, and dimensionally stable, with good sliding, and wear properties.
Where is POM used?
Precision parts such as gears, bearings, and clips, plus valve, and pump components in automotive, E&E, and industry.

Top 5 application markets for POM
pricenxt delivers structured price data and analysis views for POM, supporting a consistent basis for planning, procurement, and pricing.
-
Functional partsFunctional parts such as gears and bearings need precise, wear-resistant plastics – POM and the polyamides dominate, and their prices count.Learn more
-
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
-
Housings & coversHousings and covers use ABS, PC, and PC/ABS blends – appearance, impact resistance and material costs depend directly on polymer prices.Learn more
-
Tools & DIYTools & DIY use ABS, PA-GF, POM, and PC/ABS – price movements feed straight into robust, impact-resistant components.Learn more

What makes POM distinctive?
POM is the material for dimensionally stable precision parts. Price series make regions and transaction types straightforward to compare.
Material and price logic
POM is stiff, hard, and dimensionally stable, with good sliding properties. Regionally differing sourcing routes shape price formation.
- Precision material: stiff, hard, and dimensionally stable with good sliding properties.
- Regions and transaction types: contract, manufacturer direct and spot quotations from Western Europe and China allow detailed comparison.
- Application relevance: important for gears, bearings, and mechanical functional parts.
Market relevance
POM prices are relevant for companies that purchase, cost or have to account for precision and functional-part 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.
