Titanium Dioxide (TiO\u2082) Market Analysis<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Downstream demand remained weak while overall TiO\u2082 supply stayed sufficient. A noticeable increase in chloride-process TiO\u2082 output intensified competition, and anatase prices declined further during the week.<\/li>\n<li>Some sulfate-process plants in Panzhihua and Shandong reduced or suspended production because of market conditions and equipment factors. However, most other producers continued operating at full rates, leaving the market oversupplied and inventories under pressure.<\/li>\n<li>Leading titanium dioxide manufacturers kept their quotations unchanged, while other producers remained cautious as some transaction prices approached production cost levels. Most orders continued to be negotiated case by case.<\/li>\n<li>Export orders at major TiO\u2082 producers remained relatively healthy and helped ease part of the domestic shipment pressure, but they were not sufficient to reverse the weak overall market trend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 12px auto;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"padding: 8px 12px; background-color: #f2f2f2; text-align: center; width: 50%;\">Product<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding: 8px 12px; background-color: #f2f2f2; text-align: center; width: 50%;\">Price Index (26nd Week, 2026)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; text-align: center;\">Anatase<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;\">131-130<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; text-align: center;\">Rutile<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding: 8px 12px; text-align: center; font-weight: bold;\">133-132<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"font-size: 13px; color: #666; margin: 6px 0 14px 0;\"><b>Price Index Methodology:<\/b> The Price Index is calculated based on the average prices of the top 10 producers in China, with the base value set at 100 as of January 1, 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>2.
