Sample description: On the data release date, theoretical cost and profit monitoring is conducted based on acrylic acid prices compiled by Chempricehub.

Terminology explanation:
Cost: Production cost refers to the total of direct expenses, direct labor, and indirect manufacturing costs incurred by an enterprise in producing a certain type and quantity of product. The production cost of acrylic acid refers to the theoretical production cost based on the feedstock (propylene) source.

Profit: Acrylic acid production profit calculated on the basis of acrylic acid petrochemical enterprise prices, i.e., the profit after deducting total costs and additional expenses (excluding financial expenses) from the market price.

Statistical methodology: The statistical period runs from Friday of the previous week to Thursday of the current week, with profit data compared between the current Thursday and the previous Thursday. Chempricehub's acrylic acid product profit data are primary statistics, released every Thursday from 15:00–17:00 on working days.
