Market Report

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Market Analysis

  • The market for titanium ore (ilmenite) is experiencing weakness, with prices of small and medium manufacturers around $283-$288 per ton (converted from 2040-2080 yuan/ton using the exchange rate of 7.21640), and 38% titanium ore (excluding tax) priced at around $205-$212 per ton (converted from 1480-1530 yuan/ton).
  • Prices for imported titanium ore remain steady. Mozambique titanium ore is priced at approximately $368 per ton, while Kenyan 47%-49% grade ore is priced at about $362 per ton. Despite high domestic ore prices, demand for imported ore is subdued, and the market remains largely in a wait-and-see state.
  • The titanium slag market is weak, with 90% low calcium and high titanium slag priced around $935 per ton (converted from 6750 yuan/ton). High production costs and weak downstream demand continue to pressure the market.
