Prices of Raw Materials for Large Appliances Production

The large household appliances sector (also known as the white goods sector) is closely linked to the dynamics of the raw materials market. The production of refrigerators, washing machines, ovens and other household appliances requires a wide range of materials, including metals, which are a key component.

FT Mercati is the ideal partner to support companies in the sector that want to be constantly updated on the quotations of these materials.

Main raw materials used:

Metals and plastics are among the most important raw materials for the white industry:

• Ferrous metals: such as steel, mainly used for the load-bearing structures of household appliances.
• Non-ferrous metals: such as Copper, Aluminium and Zinc, used in electrical circuits, motors and coatings.
• Plastic and rubber: other important materials used for different types of wiring. Wiring harnesses for boilers, for example, have to withstand high temperatures and humid environments, while those for air conditioners are designed to operate under conditions of vibration and temperature fluctuations. Washing machines and dishwashers, on the other hand, require wiring that can handle water and detergents.
