In mid-May, the titanium dioxide market has started to show signs of weakness. Sichuan Longyao Titanium Industry Co., Ltd., a leading domestic producer known as "Sichuan Dragonfly," has drawn significant attention from industry players, but the company has not yet announced any price changes.
So far, the market for titanium dioxide has remained relatively stable. The current prices for both rutile and anatase types are mostly quoted at RMB 12,000–13,200/ton and RMB 10,000–11,000/ton respectively (including tax).
Since April, some titanium dioxide producers have followed price increases by Sichuan Longxuan, with adjustments ranging from 300 to 600 yuan per ton, or approximately 3% to 5%. At the 2013 National Titanium Dioxide Industry Annual Conference held last November, it was disclosed that the first draft of the pollution control policy for the titanium dioxide industry has been completed and is expected to be officially released this year. Industry experts anticipate that as inventory levels decrease and production capacity is further optimized, future price adjustments may occur, potentially reshaping the supply and demand dynamics in the sector.
Analysts note that at the beginning of May, the market price of titanium dioxide saw a slight increase. However, downstream users’ stockpiling activities are nearing completion, and the enthusiasm among traders and end-users who had built up inventory has started to cool down. Many are now focusing on digesting their existing stocks or re-entering the market. For now, the industry is closely watching the price trend in the Sichuan Longxi region to determine the next move.
With the ongoing regulatory developments and shifting market conditions, the titanium dioxide sector remains dynamic, and stakeholders are keeping a close eye on potential future movements.
