Weekly Profit Statistics for Chinese DOTP Sample Production (October 23–29, 2026)

During the reporting period (October 23–29, 2026), the weekly average production gross margin for sample DOTP enterprises in Zhejiang, China, stood at RMB 311 per ton. The weekly average theoretical profit increased by RMB 10 per ton compared to the previous period, representing a week-on-week growth of 3.32%.

The average prices of raw materials—n-octanol and purified terephthalic acid (PTA)—both rose during the week. However, the increase in the average price of DOTP exceeded the rise in production costs, leading to a continued expansion of theoretical profit margins for enterprises. Currently, the industry’s theoretical profit space remains ample.
