Sample Description: On the data release date, Chempricehub conducts theoretical cost and profit monitoring based on statistical acrylic acid prices.

Definitions:

  • Cost: Production cost refers to the sum of direct expenses, direct labor, and indirect manufacturing overhead incurred by an enterprise to produce a specific type and quantity of product. The production cost of acrylic acid specifically refers to the theoretical production cost derived from its raw material (propylene).
  • Profit: This is calculated based on the price benchmarks of petrochemical enterprises producing acrylic acid. It represents the market price minus total costs and additional fees (excluding financial expenses).

Statistical Methodology: The statistical period covers last Friday through this Thursday, comparing profit data from this Thursday against last Thursday. Chempricehub’s acrylic acid profit data is primary statistical information, released between 15:00 and 17:00 on Thursdays during working days.

    Acrylic acid margin improved 24% to -399 CNY/ton, yet remains negative. Slight feedstock cost dip helped, but capacity utilization risks linger. Downstream demand recovery is key to turning losses into profits soon.
