ChemPriceHub Alert: Decrease in Acrylonitrile Output Bullish for Prices

Published on 2026-02-02

In January 2026, domestic acrylonitrile production and capacity utilization declined. The capacity utilization rate for the acrylonitrile industry was 75%, down by 5.09 percentage points compared to the previous period and 0.99 percentage points lower than the same period last year. During the period, production amounted to 378,500 tons, a decrease of 25,500 tons month-on-month, representing a decline of 6.31%. However, compared to the same period last year, production increased by 21.70%. The total capacity base for acrylonitrile remained unchanged during the month. PriceSeek's analysis of acrylonitrile indicates a bullish-bearish score of 1. Analysis rationale: Acrylonitrile production in January 2026 decreased by 6.31% month-on-month, with capacity utilization dropping by 5.09 percentage points. The reduction in supply may drive up spot prices. Although the total capacity base remained unchanged, the decline in actual output suggests tightening supply and demand, which is favorable for the short-term market.
