From price lists to price intelligence: the pricenxt platform is now live. From today, KI.PIE Group’s new browser-based platform for plastics and raw-material prices is available to users. With pricenxt Analytics, you can bring familiar Plasteurope.com polymer price data together on a personalised dashboard, compare regional price and market developments at a glance, and incorporate concrete forecast values into your planning.

Following the beta phase, which closed on 1 October, we are pleased to introduce pricenxt to all our Plasteurope.com customers. Charts, forecasts, indices, and analysis: this new offering complements our established polymer price and plastics industry reporting, giving you additional ways to tailor plastics price data to your own procurement and strategic planning needs. pricenxt is available as a separate subscription. You can try the new platform free for 30 days to explore what pricenxt Analytics can do for you.

Get a personalised overview in just a few clicks. Instead of scrolling through lengthy pages, you can bring the materials and price series relevant to you together on personal boards. Clear, easy-to-read cards, a modern layout, and interactive analysis tools make it easier to compare plastics prices, identify market trends across the global plastics industry, and quickly understand how developments are connected. Familiar Plasteurope.com polymer price data become individual workspaces for your procurement and planning.

You can start with a template for an application area such as automotive interiors, construction, or flexible packaging, or create your own board with the materials you choose. You can set up multiple boards for different applications or procurement tasks.

For example, how have your purchasing materials changed in price since your last supplier negotiation? On your board, you can compare historical and regional polymer price trends, examine price spreads, and display forecast trends for selected monomers and polymers.

Market commentary for selected price series adds context to the numbers and helps you interpret price movements. Notifications help you keep track of relevant developments. Your analysis remains saved, so you can return to it before your next supplier meeting and continue working with the latest data.

Our independently determined Plasteurope.com pricing for feedstocks and plastics – including monthly contract prices, weekly spot prices, and recyclate prices – are the foundation of pricenxt and remain available under the Price Data section at Plasteurope.com. 

Within pricenxt, you can also access regional plastics prices from our partner myCEPPI (Budapest) for Central and Eastern Europe, selected Chinese market prices, and enhanced polymer price forecasts.

For a total of 18 feedstocks and polymer types, pricenxt Analytics provides specific price projections for each of the next six months. Combined with price history, these forecasts can support costing, budgeting, and procurement planning.

PIE Polymer Price Forecast add-on subscribers are already familiar with the forecast range for the first month and the trend indicator covering up to six months. pricenxt takes forecasting to a new level: instead of a longer-term trend indication, it delivers specific price projections for every month of the six-month period, helping procurement and costing teams incorporate expected price movements into their contracts, budgets, and production planning earlier and with greater precision than before. 

pricenxt Free provides access to exchange rates as well as selected plastics and application indices, including Plastixx ST, Plastixx TT, and various A-Plastixx indices, at no cost. Feedstock and plastics price series are not included.

pricenxt Analytics includes pricenxt Free, exclusive Plasteurope.com market insights, additional price series, and analytical functions. You can try it free of charge for 30 days.

The platform is browser-based. pricenxt Analytics is a separate subscription, and an existing Plasteurope.com subscription is not required – your current one will continue unchanged, whether you use pricenxt or not.
