During the current reporting period (October 9–15, 2026), sample enterprises in Zhejiang, China, reported an average weekly production gross margin of CNY 232/ton for DOTP. The average weekly theoretical profit increased by CNY 177/ton compared to the previous period, representing a week-on-week growth rate of 321.82%.

While the average prices of raw materials—2-ethylhexanol and purified terephthalic acid (PTA)—moved in opposite directions, the increase in the average DOTP price exceeded the rise in production costs.
