Weekly Statistics on China's Propylene Oxide Capacity Utilization Rate (October 16–22, 2026)

Published on 2026-10-22

During the week, Huatai, Sanyue, and Huanan plants gradually resumed normal operations, while Jinling and Ruiheng reduced operating rates. The remaining units maintained stable production. Total output for the period was 131,600 tons, an increase of 700 tons from the previous period. Capacity utilization reached 70.26%, up 0.36 percentage points from the prior period.

Sample Description: Data collected from 32 domestic propylene oxide producers, covering 100% of the industry.

Definitions: Propylene oxide production refers to the quantity of products meeting quality standards actually produced by PO enterprises on a daily basis. This figure is derived from theoretical calculations based on plant operating loads. Capacity utilization indicates the degree to which enterprise capacity is being used, generally calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. Weekly PO capacity utilization = Weekly PO production / Weekly PO capacity.

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