In October 2026 (October 1–28), epoxy resin production and capacity utilization rates increased month-on-month. Domestic epoxy resin output reached 190,300 tons, a month-on-month increase of 6.49% and a year-on-year increase of 5.72%. The capacity utilization rate stood at 50.01%, up 3.05 percentage points from the previous month but down 2.62 percentage points year-on-year. The primary drivers behind the rise in October’s epoxy resin production were the completion of maintenance shutdowns at Nantong Xingchen at the end of September, resulting in extended operating time in October, coupled with increased output from Hunan Petrochemical’s 150,000-ton/year epoxy resin unit.
