The main use of titanium dioxide determines the market price is to change with the climate changes. Climate affects the construction industry and the consumer market in many fields, the natural weakness of the downstream demand of titanium dioxide in winter, especially the weak demand of paint market this year is especially obvious. Downstream coatings, plastics and other industries have entered the off-season, the demand has become a reality, especially in the northern regions of the cold weather, some downstream construction is limited, resulting in the demand end of the overall supply and demand contradictions gradually highlighted, just the end of the Shanghai International Paint Show Although the popularity of the previous years, however, paint industry people feel the bursts of cold wind cut muscle.

2017 titanium dioxide market since 2016 as a whole is on the rise, the first half of the market, the focus of steady upward shift in the mainstream negotiations price will be to 19000 yuan/ton, and at this time we are looking at: the March 2017 imports of titanium dioxide in China for 17626.047 tons, an increase of 28.3% per cent, The increase in import volume, is the increase in high-end demand or downstream enterprises in contrast to domestic and imported “cost-effective”? As we all know, the formulation of coating enterprises is changing, when the price difference within a certain range, we think that the downstream enterprises will be closed to the eyes to import, because the domestic “cost-effective” is not up to the level of imports with the degree of high or low (on April 17 also reminded the attention of everyone). and international market exports are more cost-effective or anti-dumping risks.

In the middle of the year suddenly a burst of “plunging” public opinion, and this time we say: “The development of titanium dioxide will be better, I personally have felt, now the market has obviously not like the past low price vicious competition, price disorderly decline.” Now the price of titanium dioxide is basically stable, titanium dioxide market is tending to enterprises to adjust the market price according to their own situation, rather than blindly with the rise and fall. China’s titanium dioxide enterprises are gradually out of the low price competition business model. Low price competition can only be tired of their own, pit dead peers, the ultimate harm is the customer.

Following the correction in the middle of the year, the domestic mainstream titanium dioxide companies still maintain a high level of prices. Market prices from August to now basically maintain horizontal plate finishing situation, to the present, the sulfuric acid method rutile Titanium Dioxide Mainstream market quotes basically in 17500 yuan/ton.

In the winter, the market demand is weak, the public price is good, a single discussion or not, the past is with the fall or vicious competition, and now the titanium dioxide enterprises in accordance with their own situation to adjust market prices and business methods. At present, the market of titanium dioxide is basically stable, the domestic titanium dioxide enterprises to start relatively stable, some areas by the winter air pollution prevention, business start-up is not high, the overall industry started to maintain around 60%, the stock is mostly low, the titanium dioxide market is tending to enterprises to adjust market prices according to their own situation Rather than blindly follow the rise and fall of the rational normal.

November The overall export positive, foreign demand is relatively stable, but in December with the increase in foreign holidays, demand is expected to weaken, the domestic export-oriented enterprises are bound to increase in the shipment pressure, market regulation is the normal practice is also the operation, not “advocating pool frog” for the public, for the private?
