Business · 第 166 页
Our gross profit margin in mainland China further decreased to 10.8% in 2023, which was primarily due to the decrease in margin of our toluene oxidation products and toluene chlorination products from 20.0% and 27.5% in 2022 to 10.0% and 19.5% in 2023 due to the decrease in downstream demands as many downstream industry customers tend to lower their inventory level or slow down their inventory replenishment amid economic uncertainty and we adopted a pricing strategy to sell our products at a relatively lower price to maintain our market share in light of the unfavourable industry environment and to cope with the intensified market competition resulted from the increase in market supply of toluene oxidation products.
