At a time when raw material prices are subject to considerable fluctuations and sustainability has become a key factor in industry, transparent and up-to-date market data is becoming increasingly important. The commodity price of plastic is a key indicator of economic developments, particularly in the case of the high-performance plastic PA 9T, as this material is used in numerous demanding applications.

The costdata® plastics database provides a reliable basis for this. It combines comprehensive information on common and technical plastics, including special brand materials such as PA 9T, and is continuously updated. This gives companies access to historical price data, market trends, and forecasts that serve as a basis for strategic and operational decisions. This transparency helps to understand price developments, identify changes at an early stage, and optimize your own cost structure in the long term.

Polyamide 9T (PA 9T) belongs to the group of semi-crystalline high-performance polyamides. It is characterized by excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability—properties that make it a preferred material in the electronics, automotive, and mechanical engineering industries. However, it is precisely these high-quality characteristics that mean the commodity price of PA 9T plastic is heavily dependent on global production capacities and the costs of raw materials such as diamines and dicarboxylic acids. Fluctuations in the energy market or in the supply chain therefore have a direct impact on the price.

The costdata® plastics database enables companies to analyze these correlations in detail. By linking price histories, market forecasts, and regional trends, price movements can be tracked and strategic adjustments made. This enables companies to identify cost risks, evaluate alternative materials, and make informed decisions about long-term procurement or production.

Another advantage is the high data quality and up-to-date nature of the costdata® plastics database. It enables detailed cost analyses that not only help to reduce material costs but also increase the efficiency of production processes. In addition, it assists in identifying substitute materials—an important aspect for companies that want to make their product development more sustainable and economical.

The database also provides valuable support in research and development. Detailed information on material properties, price trends, and market availability forms the basis for innovative product designs and technological advances. PA 9T is thus understood not only as a functional material, but also as a strategic factor in the innovation process.

This is also particularly useful when negotiating with suppliers. Companies that have accurate and up-to-date market data can objectively substantiate price arguments, better assess room for negotiation, and build long-term, fair partnerships.

The costdata® plastics database provides companies with a clear overview of the price development of PA 9T plastic. It not only offers transparency regarding current market movements, but also provides the basis for sustainable and future-oriented strategies – from cost optimization and research and development to global procurement.
