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.

Market Report

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Market Analysis

  • The market for titanium ore (ilmenite) has remained relatively stable, but there are indications of potential price increases due to tight supply and high production costs. Prices for domestic titanium ore have been rising, with current rates for small and medium manufacturers ranging from approximately $270-$284 per ton, and 38-grade titanium mid-ore priced at around $194-$198 per ton (excluding tax).
  • Imported titanium ore prices are stable, with Mozambique titanium ore priced at approximately $368 per ton and Kenyan 47%-49% grade ore at around $362 per ton. Despite the high prices of domestic titanium ore, there is an increased demand for imported ore as domestic supply remains constrained.
  • The high titanium slag market has seen a slight increase, with prices for 90% low calcium and high titanium slag at approximately $961 per ton. Production costs remain high due to increased prices of raw materials, which continue to exert pressure on market prices.
