Plastic Part: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.70 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.08 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For plastic part, the drivers are sensor type, front or rear fitment, connector style, wire length, tone ring compatibility, wire gauge, relay rating, connector type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published supplier quotes for automotive injection-molded plastic parts cluster around $0.60 at 500-999 units, $0.38-$0.52 at 2,000-4,999 units, and about $0.08-$0.12 at 10,000+ units, with the lowest prices appearing on simple, high-volume parts rather than fully featured assemblies. The biggest price drivers are material grade, part size/complexity, tolerances, and whether the item is a simple molded shell versus a more engineered automotive component; added features like connectors, switches, waterproofing, and board-related assembly push pricing up materially. Realistic supplier routes are direct China OEM/exporters and marketplace trade suppliers quoting FOB piece prices; U.S.-facing channels usually add margin and are more likely to quote tooling separately or sell landed-equivalent at a higher unit cost.
