Market Report

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Market Analysis

  • The titanium ore (ilmenite) market has seen price increases this week. Currently, small and medium manufacturers’ transaction prices for 46% TiO2 ore range from $306.27 to $310.47 per ton, and 47% TiO2 ore ranges from $338.03 to $351.86 per ton. The price for 38% TiO2 middle-grade ore without tax is between $220.76 and $224.89 per ton. The market for titanium ore remains tight due to reduced raw ore exports and tight middle-grade ore supply, leading to price increases. Despite high prices for titanium ore, the downstream titanium dioxide market remains weak, causing significant cost pressure for enterprises. Supply and demand are in a clear tug of war, and titanium ore prices are expected to remain high.
  • Imported titanium ore prices remain steady. Currently, Mozambique titanium ore is priced at $368 per ton, and Kenyan 47%-49% grade ore is at $362 per ton. While domestic titanium ore prices have increased, the overall supply of imported titanium ore remains tight, and prices are expected to stay firm.

Market Report

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Market Analysis

  • The market for titanium ore (ilmenite) has been weak, with a few small and medium mines continuing to drop their prices. Current transaction prices for small and medium manufacturers are around $350-$360 per ton, while the prices for 38%-42% grade titanium ore are around $264-$268 per ton (excluding tax).
  • Prices for imported titanium ore have remained steady, with Mozambique titanium ore priced at around $368 per ton and Kenyan 47%-49% grade ore priced at around $362 per ton. There is a good demand for imported titanium ore despite domestic ore prices being high and a strong start-up in the downstream market. However, the supply of some imported titanium ore remains tight.
  • The titanium slag market remains weak, with 90% low calcium and high titanium slag priced at around $1130-$1144 per ton. Due to high raw material prices, production costs for high slag are high. However, with weak downstream prices, the high slag market price may continue to be weak.
  • The titanium tetrachloride market continues to operate stably, with current market prices around $922-$992 per ton. Due to insufficient start-ups and low prices of titanium tetrachloride, enterprises are reducing or halting production.

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Market Analysis

  • The market for titanium ore (ilmenite) has been weak, with a few small and medium mines continuing to drop their prices. Current transaction prices for small and medium manufacturers are around $300-$303 per ton, while the prices for 38-grade titanium ore are around $213-$218 per ton (excluding tax).
  • Prices for imported titanium ore have remained steady, with Mozambique titanium ore priced at around $368 per ton and Kenyan 47%-49% grade ore priced at around $362 per ton. There is a tight balance in the supply of imported titanium ore, which maintains its steady price.
  • The titanium slag market remains weak, with 90% low calcium and high titanium slag priced at around $1047 per ton, and 85% low calcium and high titanium slag priced at around $937 per ton. Despite high raw material prices, the market is under pressure due to weak downstream demand.
  • The titanium tetrachloride market continues to operate stably, with current market prices around $868-$937 per ton. High raw material costs limit price adjustments.
