Market Report

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) Market Analysis

  • After the holiday period, China’s titanium dioxide market remained stable, while several top manufacturers of titanium dioxide issued price increase notices of approximately USD 100/ton.
  • Production declined during the holiday as around ten producers implemented maintenance shutdowns or output reductions, resulting in relatively low social inventories.
  • Post-holiday operating rates are gradually recovering, but firm ilmenite prices and elevated production costs continue to support strong pricing sentiment across the market.
  • The RMB appreciated significantly during the week, strengthening by nearly 1% against the USD, increasing export pricing pressure and supporting higher USD-denominated TiO₂ quotations.
