Weekly Data Statistics on Production Profits of Acrylic Emulsion in China (September 18–24, 2026)

As of September 24, 2026, the theoretical production gross margin for pure acrylic emulsion stood at CNY 390/ton this week, representing a week-over-week increase of CNY 103.5/ton or 36.13%. The theoretical production gross margin for styrene-acrylic emulsion was -CNY 318.2/ton, up by CNY 160.36/ton or 33.51% from the previous week. This improvement was primarily driven by declining prices for key raw materials butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate (MMA), while styrene prices initially fell before rebounding. These trends slightly alleviated cost pressures on acrylic emulsions, leading to a modest recovery in profitability levels.

Sample Description: On the data release date, Chempricehub Information monitors theoretical costs and profits based on statistics of pure acrylic and styrene-acrylic emulsion prices, as well as listed raw material prices.

Definitions:

• Cost: Production cost refers to the sum of direct expenses, direct labor, and indirect manufacturing overhead incurred by an enterprise to produce specific types and quantities of products. The production cost of acrylic emulsions is calculated theoretically based on three major raw materials: butyl acrylate, MMA, and styrene.
• Profit: Production profit is calculated using the prices of pure acrylic and styrene-acrylic emulsions as the baseline. It is defined as the price of pure acrylic or styrene-acrylic emulsions minus their total production costs and additional fees (excluding financial expenses).

Statistical Scope: The statistical period covers last Friday through this Thursday, comparing profit data from this Thursday against that of last Thursday. Acrylic emulsion product profit data provided by Chempricehub Information are primary statistical figures, released between 15:00 and 17:00 on Thursdays during working days.
