Plastemart is a long-running plastics portal out of India, and for anyone trading in that market it is a standard reference. This page compares it with Prime Polymers using facts from their public site on the date given.
What Plastemart is
Plastemart describes itself as the world’s leading B2B portal for the plastics industry and is India-based. It covers machinery, raw materials, products and services, alongside industry news and exhibition listings. Its most distinctive feature for a trader is that it publishes polymer price lists from major Indian producers, updated regularly. Registration is available and appears necessary for full use; listing cost is not stated on the public site.
How Prime Polymers is different
- Region. They are strongest in India and Asia. We are UK-operated with a European centre of gravity, though listings and buyers reach well beyond it.
- Prices. They publish price references; we deliberately do not. Every figure on a Prime Polymers listing is what that seller entered — never computed, adjusted or benchmarked by us. If a published index is what you need, that is a point for them.
- Scope. They carry machinery, services, news and exhibitions. We list material only, with a form built around polymer specification.
- Cost, published. Listing, browsing and Wanted are free with no commission; messaging is £13.99/mo, and that is the whole price list.
- Access without an account. Our board and its photographs are public.
Which should you use?
For Indian domestic trade and for price references on Indian grades, them. That is their market and their long-standing strength, and we make no attempt to compete on either.
For material moving on international incoterms with a European or UK leg, a board built around exactly that is less work. And it is worth saying that a meaningful share of the traffic reaching Prime Polymers already comes from India — the two markets are not separate, and material offered here regularly finds an Asian buyer.
