On November 12, 2026, the gross margin for DOP sample production reached RMB 285 per ton. The primary raw material prices on that day were: 2-ethylhexanol at RMB 9,300 per ton; phthalic anhydride produced via the ortho-xylene method at RMB 9,800 per ton; and phthalic anhydride produced via the naphthalene method at RMB 9,000 per ton. The weekly average profit stood at RMB 164 per ton, a week-over-week increase of RMB 157 per ton. During the week, prices of both 2-ethylhexanol and phthalic anhydride declined, with costs falling faster than product prices, thereby expanding the profit margin in the DOP market.
