Weekly Production Profit Statistics for Chinese DOTP Samples (October 2–8, 2026)

During the current week (October 2–8, 2026), the average weekly production gross margin for DOTP sample enterprises in Zhejiang, China, was 55 yuan/ton. The average weekly theoretical profit declined by 126 yuan/ton compared to the previous week, representing a week-on-week drop of 69.61%.

The average prices of raw materials octanol and PTA exhibited mixed trends. Since the increase in the average price of DOTP was smaller than the rise in costs, the theoretical profit margin for enterprises contracted during the week. However, companies remained in a theoretically profitable state.

Reference data for average weekly profit:

• Average delivered price of octanol in Zhejiang: 9,285 yuan/ton.
• Average ex-factory price of PTA: 7,688 yuan/ton.
• Processing fee assumed at 700 yuan/ton.
• Based on these figures, the estimated average weekly cost in Zhejiang was 10,295 yuan/ton.
