The domestic titanium dioxide market continues to be sluggish, with current prices for Chinese rutile titanium dioxide are around $2112-$2180 per ton, and anatase titanium dioxide is around $1967-$2022 per ton.
October’s titanium dioxide exports reached 154,300 tons, marking a 5.14% month-on-month increase. However, November’s export orders have seen a decline due to weakening global demand, leading to inventory pressure for manufacturers.
Raw material costs, including sulfuric acid and ferrous sulfate, have risen, but ilmenite prices have only slightly decreased, pushing some producers to operate near cost lines.
