National caustic soda production in August 2026.

Published on 2026-09-08

Chempricehub Information's data estimates show that caustic soda output in August was 3.457 million metric tons, down 0.9% month-on-month and 4.6% year-on-year. Caustic soda production losses in August reached 1.024 million metric tons.

Data source: Chempricehub Information

Sample note: The caustic soda output and capacity utilization rate statistics compiled by Chempricehub Information are based on the total output of all caustic soda producers in China, covering 180 domestic producers, with sample coverage of 100%.

Terminology explanation: Output generally refers to the quantity of products meeting relevant standards that an enterprise actually produces over a certain period — expressed in terms of product weight or volume under a given measurement system rather than commercial quantity. In other words, it is actual output.

Statistical scope: Caustic soda output data from Chempricehub Information are monthly figures, released at 15:30 on the last day of each month (postponed to the next working day if the last day is a non-working day).

    August's 4.6% YoY output decline signals supply discipline, but unless downstream demand recovers, caustic soda margins may stay squeezed.
