Weekly Statistical Data on Production Profit of n-Butanol Samples in China (November 6–12, 2026)

According to data from Chempricehub, the weekly average profit for n-butanol stood at -379 RMB/ton this week, a decrease of 217 RMB/ton compared to the previous period (a decline of 134%). This drop was primarily driven by a significant fall in propylene feedstock prices. While n-butanol production costs decreased in line with raw material prices, the market price of n-butanol also fell substantially, resulting in a slight contraction in domestic gross margins. Specifically, the weekly average price of propylene dropped by 570 RMB/ton, mirroring the 570 RMB/ton decline in the weekly average ex-factory price of n-butanol in the Shandong region.
