Capacity Utilization Rate: This metric indicates the degree to which an enterprise's capacity is utilized, generally calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. The capacity utilization rate reported by Chempricehub refers to the overall industry utilization rate. The daily capacity utilization rate for MEG is calculated as: Daily MEG Industry Output in China / Daily MEG Industry Capacity in China.

The daily MEG capacity utilization data provided by Chempricehub is primary statistical data covering 28 domestic MEG production enterprises, with a sample coverage rate of 100%. Starting this week, the capacity utilization data is published on a weekly average basis.
