This week (August 21–27, 2026), caprolactam output was 117,400 tonnes, down 1,900 tonnes from the previous period.
Sample description: The caprolactam output and capacity utilization rate statistics from Chempricehub represent the total output of all caprolactam producers in China, covering 18 domestic caprolactam plants, with a sample coverage rate of 100%.
Term explanation:
Output: Generally refers to the quantity of products that meet relevant standards actually produced by a manufacturer over a given period (not in the sense of commodity quantity, but rather the weight or volume of goods under a specific measurement system), i.e., actual output.
Capacity utilization rate: Refers to the degree to which a company's production capacity is utilized, also known as operating load. It is generally calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. (At the end of each year, Chempricehub excludes capacity that has been continuously shut down for two or more calendar years from effective capacity, classifying it as idle capacity, and does not use it as the base for calculating capacity utilization.)
Statistical scope: The statistics cycle for Chempricehub's caprolactam output and capacity utilization rate is from Friday of the previous week to Thursday of the current week. Data is released at 17:00 every Thursday on working days.
