Terminology:

• Production: Generally refers to the actual quantity of products that meet relevant standards produced by a manufacturing enterprise over a given period (not the concept of commodity volume; it refers to the weight or volume of the product under a given system of measurement), i.e., actual output.
• Capacity utilization rate: Refers to the degree to which an enterprise’s production capacity is utilized, also called operating load. It is generally calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. (At the end of each year, Chempricehub excludes capacity that has been shut down continuously for two or more calendar years from effective capacity, classifying it as zombie capacity and not using it as the base for calculating the capacity utilization rate.)

Statistical scope: Chempricehub Information’s caprolactam production and capacity utilization rate statistics cover the period from Friday of the previous week to Thursday of the current week. Data are released at 17:00 every Thursday (working day).
