Sample Description: The capacity utilization sample encompasses 12 domestic DBP producers and their respective facilities, achieving a 100% coverage rate.
Definition: Capacity utilization refers to the extent to which a company’s productive capacity is being used. It is generally calculated as the ratio of actual product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. The weekly DBP capacity utilization data published by Chempricehub Intelligence represents the average capacity utilization across sample companies over a seven-day period, derived from the ratio of actual DBP output to designed (theoretical) output.
Statistical Methodology: The statistical period for DBP capacity utilization reported by Chempricehub Intelligence runs from Friday of the preceding week through Thursday of the current week. Data are released between 15:00 and 17:30 on Thursdays (business days). At year-end, Chempricehub excludes capacities that have been idle for more than two consecutive calendar years or those officially announced as exiting DBP production from the definition of “effective capacity,” thereby removing them from the denominator used in capacity utilization calculations.
