Weekly Production Data of Caprolactam Enterprises in China (September 25–30, 2026)

Published on 2026-09-30

This week (September 25–30, 2026), caprolactam production totaled 124,300 tons, an increase of 3,100 tons compared to the previous period.

Sample Description:
The caprolactam production and capacity utilization rates reported by Chempricehub encompass the total output from all caprolactam producers in China, covering 18 domestic plants with a sample coverage rate of 100%.

Definitions:

  • Production Volume: Refers to the actual quantity of goods meeting relevant standards produced by manufacturers within a specific period. This denotes physical output measured by weight or volume under standard units, rather than commercial sales volume.
  • Capacity Utilization Rate: Also known as operating load, this metric indicates the degree to which a company’s production capacity is being used. It is calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. Note: At the end of each year, Chempricehub excludes capacities that have been continuously idle for two calendar years or more, classifying them as “zombie capacity” and removing them from the base for capacity utilization calculations.

Statistical Scope:
Chempricehub’s statistical period for caprolactam production and capacity utilization runs from Friday of the previous week through Thursday of the current week. Data is released at 17:00 on Thursdays during business days.
