Weekly Statistical Data on Cost and Profit of Representative Propylene Oxide Processes in China

Published on 2026-10-15

According to data compiled by Chempricehub, the weekly average profit for the chlorohydrin process was -529.83 CNY/ton during this period, representing an increase of 35.42 CNY/ton compared to the previous period. The average profit for the HPPO (Hydrogen Peroxide to Propylene Oxide) process was -1052.33 CNY/ton, up by 144.17 CNY/ton from the previous period's average. During this cycle, the primary raw material propylene surged and then consolidated, while liquid chlorine prices remained stable. Consequently, representative processes operated at slight losses but showed marginal recovery.

    Seeing PO losses narrow is a relief, but margin recovery remains fragile. With propylene volatile and HPPO still deep in the red, I worry capacity utilization will stay low until downstream demand truly picks up.
