Weekly Analysis of Phenol and Acetone Capacity Utilization in China (October 2–8, 2026)

Published on 2026-10-08

1. Qualitative Analysis of Phenol-Acetone Capacity Utilization Trends

This week (October 2–8, 2026), the weekly average capacity utilization rate for Chinese phenol-acetone enterprises remained at approximately 89%, unchanged from the previous period (September 25–October 1, 2026). Overall operations of domestic phenol-acetone units showed minimal fluctuation this period, with only minor adjustments to load rates on individual units.

3. Forecast Analysis of Phenol-Acetone Capacity Utilization Trends

The capacity utilization rate for domestic phenol-acetone enterprises is expected to decline in the next period. Attention should be paid to the restart dynamics of the phenol-acetone units at Sino-Saudi (Tianjin) Petrochemical and Yangzhou Shiyou.


Sample Description: The capacity utilization data provided by Chempricehub Information is based on primary statistical surveys. The sample covers all production enterprises, achieving a 100% coverage rate.

Definition: Capacity utilization refers to the degree to which an enterprise's production capacity is utilized. It is generally calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. The "China Capacity Utilization" statistic reported by Chempricehub Information refers to the total industry-wide capacity utilization for the phenol-acetone sector, defined as the ratio of weekly output to designed capacity within China's phenol-acetone industry.

Statistical Scope: The weekly capacity utilization reporting period runs from Friday of the preceding week to Thursday of the current week. Data statistics are released every Thursday afternoon at 17:00.
