Weekly Statistical Data on Production Profit of n-Butanol Samples in China (September 11–17, 2026)

According to Chempricehub data, the weekly average profit for n-butanol was 1,054 yuan/ton this week, an increase of 293 yuan/ton from the previous period. This rise was primarily driven by propylene feedstock prices fluctuating slightly upward in line with crude oil prices. Although downstream operating rates declined, leading to a slight reduction in demand and temporary lower transaction volumes, overall supply remained tight. Consequently, n-butanol market prices maintained a high-level fluctuation.

This week, the average price of propylene feedstock rose by 270 yuan/ton, while the average price of n-butanol increased by 460 yuan/ton, resulting in improved profit margins for n-butanol producers.
