During the current period (August 6-12, 2026), domestic butadiene inventories declined, with total sample inventories down 14.07% compared with the previous period. Among this, sample enterprise inventories fell 0.35% week on week, as some enterprises' units operated at reduced loads, leading to a slight drop in supply and a modest decrease in enterprise inventories. Sample port inventories declined 19.01% week on week; imported cargo arrivals were limited during the week, and some cargoes had not yet entered storage due to weather conditions, contributing to the inventory decrease.
Sample description: Butadiene producer inventories include those of PetroChina, Sinopec, and other producers, representing 45% of total domestic butadiene production capacity. The butadiene producer inventory sample covers 19 producer enterprises.
Butadiene port inventories refer to sampled inventories in East China, with commercial tank farm samples accounting for 100%. The butadiene port inventory sample covers 9 tank farms, including 4 commercial tank farms and 5 enterprise feedstock tank farms.
Terminology: Inventories held by Chinese butadiene producers and sample tank farms refer to physical inventory, i.e., the actual quantity of products stored in warehouses at a given point in time.
Statistical scope: Chempricehub Information's China butadiene inventory statistics cover data as of Wednesday of the current week, with data released before 17:00 every Thursday (working day).
