Market Report

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Market Analysis

  • The titanium dioxide market is currently experiencing high costs mainly due to the increase in raw material prices, such as ilmenite and sulfuric acid, despite a slight price decrease in some titanium ore prices. The cost pressures are significant for manufacturers.
  • Export markets for titanium dioxide have shown improvement, with a reported increase in exports by 7.68% compared to the previous year. The sulfate process for titanium dioxide production saw a notable increase in exports.
  • Downstream demand remains high, which maintains the pressure on titanium dioxide prices despite high production costs. This has led to a firm stance on pricing by producers.

Market Report

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Market Analysis

  • Titanium dioxide manufacturers are adjusting their prices upwards, with Heng Tong Titanium raising domestic prices by approximately $69 per ton and Citic Titanium raising domestic prices by about $41 per ton, and international prices by $7 per ton.
  • Currently, the market price for Chinese rutile titanium dioxide, including tax, is approximately $1,972-$2,083 per ton, and for anatase titanium dioxide, it is about $1,753-$1,863 per ton.
  • Before the holiday, titanium dioxide enterprises had good order intake, and post-holiday, many are scheduled to deliver orders. The downstream market is gradually resuming production, which, combined with pre-holiday inventory stocking, means fewer inquiries this week. The market is maintaining a strong stance.
