Weekly Data Analysis of China's Phenol-Acetone Capacity Utilization Rate (August 7–13, 2026)

Published on 2026-08-13

I. Qualitative Analysis of Phenol Ketone Capacity Utilization Trends

This week (August 7–13, 2026), the average weekly capacity utilization rate of Chinese phenol ketone enterprises was approximately 70%, down compared with the previous period. During this period, Formosa Chemicals & Fibre (Ningbo) and Wanhua Chemical phenol ketone units were shut down.

II. Overview of Phenol Ketone Capacity Utilization

Table Operating status of domestic phenol ketone units (Unit: 10,000 tons/year)

Enterprise Name Phenol Ketone Capacity Operating Status
Zhejiang Petrochemical (Phase I) 65 90%
Zhejiang Petrochemical (Phase II) 65 90%
Formosa Chemicals & Fibre (Ningbo) 63 0%
Muyiwei Chemical (Shanghai) 56 90%
Changchun Chemical (Jiangsu) 48 60%
Shenghong Refining & Chemical 65 0%
Jiangsu Ruiheng 65 75%
Zhenhai Refining & Chemical 65 90%
Gaohua Materials 40 0%
Yangzhou Shiyou 32 90%
Sinopec SABIC Tianjin 35 85%
Wanhua Chemical 78 0%
Lihuayi Weiyuan 70 100%
Qingdao Gulf 32 100%
Fuyu Chemical 25 100%
Hengli Petrochemical 65 100%
Longjiang Chemical 35 100%
Jilin Petrochemical 35 70%
Bluestar Harbin 15 80%
Huizhou Zhongxin (Phase I) 30 0%
Huizhou Zhongxin (Phase II) 45 100%
CNOOC and Shell Petrochemical 35 0%
Guangxi Huayi 28 60%

III. Forecast Analysis of Phenol Ketone Capacity Utilization Trends

The domestic phenol ketone enterprise capacity utilization rate is expected to decline slightly in the next period. Attention should be paid to the restart schedule of the Formosa Chemicals & Fibre (Ningbo) phenol ketone unit.

Sample description: The capacity utilization data from Chempricehub Information are first-hand statistics, covering all sample production enterprises, with a sample coverage rate of 100%.

Term explanation: 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 raw material processing volume to effective capacity. The China capacity utilization rate compiled by Chempricehub Information refers to the total capacity utilization rate of the phenol ketone industry, i.e., the ratio of China's weekly phenol ketone industry output to design capacity.

Statistical caliber: The weekly capacity utilization rate covers the statistical period from Friday of the previous week to Thursday of the current week. Data are published every Thursday at 17:00.

    The drop in phenol-acetone utilization to 70% is notable, but the real risk is whether downstream demand can absorb the restart volumes from Ningbo. Watching margins closely—if feedstock costs stay firm while utilizatio..
