Market Report

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Market Analysis

  • The titanium ore (ilmenite) market is experiencing weak demand, leading to a decrease in prices. Currently, prices for small and medium manufacturers are around $235-$242 per ton, with 38-grade titanium ore priced at approximately $154-$168 per ton (excluding tax).
  • Imported titanium ore prices are mixed, with Mozambique ore around $368 per ton (CIF), Vietnam ore at $292-$308 per ton (FOB), and Australian ore at $285-$305 per ton (CIF).
  • Titanium slag prices are soft: northern 90% low-calcium slag dropped to $935/ton (down $42); oversupply and downstream losses lead to high inventory and halted production. Sulfate slag in Sichuan remains at $813–$820/ton, but Yunnan’s prices are lower at $587–$650/ton due to weak seasonal demand.

Market Report

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Market Analysis

  • In the first half of 2025, China’s titanium dioxide (TiO2) market was significantly impacted by macroeconomic pressures, including property market adjustments and external trade frictions, leading to overall weak demand.
  • TiO2 prices experienced a two-stage trend: an initial increase in Q1 (Jan–Mar) due to high ilmenite and sulfuric acid costs and reduced output during the Lunar New Year; followed by a sharp decline from April to June due to falling demand, high inventories, and widespread production cuts among top manufacturers .
  • As of mid-June, sulfuric acid process TiO2 prices fell by approximately $70–$98 per ton from early 2025 levels, and by $140–$168 per ton from the March peak. Chloride process TiO2 prices dropped by around $140–$210 per ton since January.
