Weekly Production Profit Statistics for DOTP Samples in China (October 16–22, 2026)

During the reporting period (October 16–22, 2026), the average weekly production gross profit for sample DOTP enterprises in Zhejiang, China, stood at 301 RMB/ton. The theoretical weekly profit rose by 69 RMB/ton compared to the previous period, representing a week-on-week increase of 29.74%.

Average prices for the raw materials, n-octanol and purified terephthalic acid (PTA), moved in opposite directions during the week. However, the increase in the average price of DOTP exceeded the rise in production costs, further expanding the theoretical profit margin for producers. Currently, the industry’s theoretical profit space remains ample.
