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.

Market Report

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Market Analysis

  • The titanium dioxide market remains under pressure with weak downstream demand. Some enterprises have lowered their prices for May, leading to a chaotic pricing environment. Currently, Chinese rutile titanium dioxide is priced around $1,918-$2,139 per ton, and anatase titanium dioxide is priced around $1,821-$1,877 per ton.
  • Raw material costs, particularly for ilmenite, have decreased, easing some of the cost pressure on titanium dioxide production. However, the weak demand continues to exert downward pressure on prices.
  • There is a significant inventory pressure on enterprises, leading some to consider production cuts or temporary shutdowns to manage excess stock levels.

Market Report

1. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Market Analysis

  • The titanium dioxide market remains volatile. As of late April, the price for sulfuric acid rutile-type titanium dioxide in China was approximately $1,947-$2,125 per ton, while sulfuric acid anatase-type titanium dioxide was priced at around $1,809-$1,892 per ton. Chloride process rutile-type titanium dioxide was priced at $2,111-$2,355 per ton.
  • Overall demand has not met expectations, leading to significant pricing pressure. Top manufacturers, including the LB Group, have maintained stable prices, though some companies have reduced prices due to rising inventories and export challenges.
  • High raw material costs have contributed to substantial cost pressures for producers, resulting in decreased production rates across the market. The market is characterized by high inventory levels and weak domestic demand.
