Weekly Statistics on China's Propylene Oxide Capacity Utilization (October 2–8, 2026)

Published on 2026-10-08

During the week, plant operations remained largely normal and stable, leading to an increase in output. Total production for this period reached 138,500 tons, up by 1,400 tons from the previous period. The capacity utilization rate stood at 73.93%, a rise of 0.72 percentage points compared to the last period.

Sample Description: Data collected from 32 domestic propylene oxide producers, achieving 100% coverage.

Definition of Terms: Propylene oxide production refers to the quantity of products meeting quality standards actually produced daily by propylene oxide enterprises. This figure is derived through theoretical calculation based on enterprise operating loads. Capacity utilization rate indicates the extent to which an enterprise’s capacity is utilized, generally calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. Weekly propylene oxide capacity utilization rate = Weekly propylene oxide production / Weekly propylene oxide capacity.

Statistical Scope: The statistical period runs from last Friday to this Thursday, with data released every Thursday afternoon.
