Weekly Statistical Data on Production Profit of Acrylic Emulsion in China (October 30 – November 5, 2026)

As of November 5, 2026, the theoretical gross margin for pure acrylic emulsion production stood at CNY 623.5 per ton this week, a decrease of CNY 170 per ton from the previous period, representing a drop of 21.42%. Meanwhile, the theoretical gross margin for styrene-acrylic (SBA) emulsion production was recorded at -CNY 103.84 per ton, an increase of CNY 115.2 per ton from the previous period, or a rise of 52.59%. This improvement in SBA emulsion profitability was primarily driven by fluctuations in raw material prices—specifically butyl acrylate and styrene—which initially rose and then fell, thereby slightly alleviating cost pressures and boosting margins.

Sample Description:
The data reflects theoretical cost and profit monitoring conducted by Chempricehub on the date of publication, based on the prices of pure acrylic and styrene-acrylic emulsions as well as the listed prices of their raw materials.

Definitions:

• Cost: Production cost refers to the total direct expenses, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead incurred by an enterprise to produce a specific type and quantity of product. For acrylic emulsions, this represents the theoretical production cost derived from three key raw materials: butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and styrene.
• Profit: Calculated using the market price of pure acrylic and styrene-acrylic emulsions as the baseline, this metric represents production profit, defined as the selling price minus total costs and additional fees (excluding financial expenses).

Statistical Methodology:
The statistical period covers last Friday through this Thursday. Profit comparisons are made between the data recorded on this Thursday and that from the previous Thursday. Chempricehub’s acrylic emulsion profit data is primary statistical information, released every Thursday between 15:00 and 17:00 on working days.
