Sample Description:
The caprolactam production and capacity utilization rates reported by Chempricehub represent the total output of all domestic Chinese caprolactam producers. The data covers 18 caprolactam plants in China, achieving a sample coverage rate of 100%.
Definitions:
- Production Volume: Generally refers to the quantity of goods actually produced by manufacturing enterprises over a specific period that meets relevant standards. This is defined not as commodity units but as weight or volume under a specific system of measurement (i.e., actual output).
- Capacity Utilization Rate: Also known as operating load, this indicator measures the extent to which a company’s production capacity is utilized. It is typically calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. (At the end of each year, Chempricehub excludes capacities that have been continuously idle for two years or more from the definition of "effective capacity," classifying them as "zombie capacity." These are not included in the base for calculating capacity utilization.)
Statistical Scope:
Chempricehub’s statistical period for caprolactam production and capacity utilization runs from Friday of the preceding week through Thursday of the current week. Data is released at 17:00 on Thursdays during business days.
