Note on Methodology:

Capacity utilization rate refers to the degree to which an enterprise's production capacity is utilized, generally calculated as the ratio of product output or feedstock throughput to effective capacity. The ethylene glycol capacity utilization rate published by Chempricehub refers to the total industry capacity utilization rate. Specifically, the daily MEG capacity utilization rate = China's total daily MEG industry output / China's total daily MEG industry capacity.

Data Source Statement:

Chempricehub's daily MEG capacity utilization rate data are primary statistics, with a sample covering 28 domestic MEG producers in China, achieving 100% sample coverage. Starting from this week, capacity utilization rate data will be published as weekly average figures.
