This week (November 6–12, 2026), domestic caprolactam production totaled 119,700 tons, a decrease of 3,100 tons from the previous period.
Sample Description:
The caprolactam production and capacity utilization data compiled by Chempricehub covers all caprolactam producers in China, encompassing 18 domestic caprolactam plants with 100% sample coverage.
Definitions:
Production Volume: Refers to the actual quantity of goods meeting relevant standards produced by enterprises within a specific time frame. This represents physical output measured in weight or volume under defined units of measurement, rather than commercial sales volume.
Capacity Utilization Rate: Indicates the extent to which an enterprise’s production capacity is being used, also known as operating load. It is calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. As of each year-end, Chempricehub excludes capacities that have remained continuously idle for two calendar years or more from the definition of “effective capacity,” classifying them as “zombie capacity” and not including them in the denominator for capacity utilization calculations.
Statistical Methodology:
Chempricehub defines its statistical period for caprolactam production and capacity utilization as Friday of the preceding week through Thursday of the current week. Data is released at 17:00 on every working Thursday.
