Weekly Data Statistics on Production Profit of Chinese DOTP Samples (September 11–17, 2026)

During the reporting period (September 11–17, 2026), the average weekly production gross margin for sample DOTP enterprises in Zhejiang, China, stood at RMB 330 per ton. This represented a slight decline of RMB 1 per ton from the previous week, marking a month-over-month decrease of 0.30%. Although average prices for the raw materials 2-ethylhexanol and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) rose during the week, the price of DOTP initially increased before pulling back. Consequently, the average price increase for DOTP was smaller than the rise in production costs, leading to a marginal contraction in theoretical profit margins for enterprises throughout the week.

Key reference data for average weekly profits are as follows:

• 2-Ethylhexanol: The average weekly delivered price in Zhejiang was referenced at RMB 9,660 per ton.
• PTA: The average weekly ex-factory price was referenced at RMB 7,112 per ton.
• Processing Cost: Calculated at RMB 700 per ton.
• Total Average Weekly Cost: Based on the above figures, the estimated cost in Zhejiang was RMB 10,300 per ton.

Sample Description and Methodology:
The DOTP profit calculation is defined as the difference between the market price of DOTP and its production cost. The "DOTP profit" reported by Chempricehub refers specifically to the theoretical gross margin for DOTP in the Zhejiang region. Data is compiled on a weekly basis, covering the period from last Friday to this Thursday. These statistics are released on weekdays between 14:00 and 17:00.
