Weekly Production Profit Statistics for Acrylic Emulsion in China (September 25–30, 2026)

As of September 30, 2026, the theoretical production margin for pure acrylic emulsion stood at RMB 467.5 per ton this week, representing a week-on-week increase of RMB 77.5 per ton or 19.87%. In contrast, the theoretical production margin for styrene-acrylic emulsion was negative, at RMB -388.8 per ton, marking a week-on-week decline of RMB 70.6 per ton or 22.19%. This deterioration in profitability was primarily driven by slight increases in the price of butyl acrylate and consecutive rises in styrene prices during the week, which intensified cost pressures on styrene-acrylic emulsions and further compressed their profit margins.

Sample Description: The data reflects theoretical costs and margins calculated based on Chempricehub’s statistics of pure acrylic and styrene-acrylic emulsion prices, as well as listed raw material prices, on the date of publication.

Definitions:

• Cost: Production cost refers to the total direct expenses, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead incurred by an enterprise to produce specific types and quantities of products. For acrylic emulsions, production cost is calculated theoretically based on three key raw materials: butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and styrene.
• Profit: Production profit is calculated using the market prices of pure acrylic and styrene-acrylic emulsions as the baseline. It is defined as the emulsion price minus total production costs and additional fees (excluding financial costs).

Statistical Scope: The statistical period covers last Friday through this Thursday, comparing profit data from this Thursday against that of last Thursday. Chempricehub provides primary statistical data on acrylic emulsion product profits, released between 15:00 and 17:00 on Thursdays of each working week.
