II. Production Trend Forecast Analysis
In October 2026, supply reductions were notable among enterprises such as Dalian Hengli, Zhejiang Petrochemical, Shenghe Refining & Chemical, Maoming Petrochemical, Guoxing Petrochemical, and Xinhai Refining. Conversely, significant supply increases were observed at Dalian West Pacific, Yanshan Petrochemical, Yangzi Petrochemical, Shijiazhuang Refining & Chemical, Tianjin Petrochemical, Jinling Petrochemical, Datang Energy, Gaoqiao Petrochemical, Zhanjiang Dongxing, and Lijin Petrochemical. Overall, the number of enterprises increasing output outweighed those decreasing it.
III. Comparison of Production Trends and Product Prices
In September 2026, China's monthly sample sulfur production increased by 2.57% MoM but decreased by 16.62% YoY. As sulfur is primarily a byproduct derived from crude oil, natural gas, and coal, its correlation with price fluctuations is relatively low. Production levels are mainly determined by maintenance schedules of producer facilities and sulfur content in feedstocks. Regarding supply, key refineries in East China, along with Zhejiang Petrochemical, Hengli Petrochemical, and Shenghe Refining & Chemical, increased their output. Additionally, Lijin Petrochemical and Datang Duolun resumed production. Enterprises undergoing maintenance included Anqing Petrochemical, Dongying Yatong, Jincheng Petrochemical, and Datang Keqi. Overall, the number of enterprises increasing output outweighed those decreasing it.
