Weekly Statistics on Acrylonitrile Production and Capacity Utilization in China (November 6–12, 2026)

I. Qualitative Analysis of Sample Production Volume and Capacity Utilization Rate Trends

This week (November 6–12, 2026), the total production volume of acrylonitrile plants in China was 85,000 tons; the weekly capacity utilization rate was 71.18%, a decrease of 1.77% from the previous period. During this week, Kelu reduced one production line.

III. Forecast Analysis of Sample Production Volume and Capacity Utilization Rate Trends

Next week, the estimated sample weekly production volume for Chinese acrylonitrile plants is approximately 82,300 tons, with an estimated capacity utilization rate of around 69%. This represents a potential decline compared to current data. Attention should be paid to the operational status of the Haijiang plant.

IV. Comparison of Sample Production Volume and Capacity Utilization Rate Trends with Product Prices

As of this week, both the sample weekly production volume and operating rates of Chinese acrylonitrile plants have decreased, thereby driving up acrylonitrile prices.

Sample Description: The acrylonitrile production volume and capacity utilization rates compiled by Chempricehub Information represent the total output of all acrylonitrile production enterprises in China. The sample covers 20 domestic acrylonitrile plants, achieving a 100% sample coverage rate.

Definitions:

• Production Volume: Generally refers to the quantity of commodities produced by manufacturing enterprises within a specific period that meet relevant standards (not referring to commodity units, but rather weight or volume under specific measurement systems). It denotes actual production volume.
• Capacity Utilization Rate: Refers to the degree of utilization of enterprise capacity, also known as operating load. It is generally calculated as the ratio of product output or raw material processing volume to effective capacity. (Note: At the end of each year, Chempricehub excludes capacity that has been continuously idle for two natural years or more from effective capacity, classifying it as "zombie capacity," which is not included in the base for calculating the capacity utilization rate.)

Statistical Scope: The statistical period for Chempricehub Information's acrylonitrile production volume and capacity utilization rates runs from Friday of the preceding week to Thursday of the current week. Data is released at 17:00 on Thursdays of working days.
