Glossary:
Output: Generally refers to the quantity of products that meet relevant standards and are actually produced by a manufacturing enterprise over a given period. It denotes actual output rather than commercial quantity, meaning the weight or volume of goods under a specific measurement system.
Capacity utilization: Refers to the degree to which a company's production capacity is used, also known as operating load. It is generally calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processed to effective capacity. (At the end of each year, Chempricehub excludes capacity that has been continuously idle for two or more calendar years from effective capacity, classifying it as zombie capacity, and it is not used as the base for calculating capacity utilization.)
Statistical scope: Chempricehub's caprolactam output and capacity utilization statistics cover the period from Friday of the previous week to Thursday of the current week. Data are released at 17:00 every Thursday on working days.
