Sample Description: On the day of data release, theoretical costs and profits are monitored based on acrylic acid prices collected by Chempricehub Information.

Terminology Explanation:

  • 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 refers to the theoretical production cost based on the raw material (propylene) source.
  • Profit: The production profit of acrylic acid is calculated based on the price benchmark for petrochemical enterprises producing acrylic acid. It is defined as the market price minus total costs and additional fees (excluding financial expenses).

Statistical Scope: The statistical period covers Friday of the previous week through Thursday of the current week. Comparisons are made between profit data from the current Thursday and the previous Thursday. Chempricehub Information’s acrylic acid product profit data is primary statistical data, released on working days between 15:00 and 17:00 on Thursdays.
