Sample Description: On the day of data release, Chempricehub monitors theoretical costs and profits based on acrylic acid price statistics.

Definitions:

  • Cost: Production cost is defined as the sum of direct expenses, direct labor, and indirect manufacturing overhead incurred by an enterprise to produce a specific type and quantity of products. The production cost of acrylic acid refers to the theoretical production cost based on raw material (propylene) sourcing.
  • Profit: This is calculated using petrochemical enterprise prices for acrylic acid as the benchmark. It represents the profit from acrylic acid production, defined as the market price minus total costs and additional fees (excluding financial expenses).

Statistical Scope: The statistical period runs from last Friday to this Thursday, comparing profit data from this Thursday against last Thursday. Chempricehub’s acrylic product profit data is first-hand statistical information, released between 15:00 and 17:00 on working days every Thursday.
