Recently, the world's chemical raw materials, titanium dioxide tycoon Turion, Comune, Long Python one after another announced the price adjustment letter, Tenova announced January 1, 2018 onwards, will be on all Tronox titanium dioxide (Tio2) product pricing strategy, the Asia Pacific The region raised the price of about 125 US dollars / ton, the Australian region raised the price of about 165 Australian dollars / ton.According to the Comun notice, since January 1, 2018 in Greater China sales of Ti-Pure titanium dioxide will be raised at 150 USD / tonne, special specifications R-350 and TS-6300 will increase the price of 200 US dollars / ton.Longhentailibili also announced in early December the price of sulfuric acid method of titanium dioxide.Among them, the domestic market price increase price of 500 yuan / Ton; the international market price increases in the price of 100 US dollars / ton.
The price adjustment announcement with the previous difference is that this is only a few of the few giants released a notice of price increases, while other companies do not have the corresponding voice of the voices, the other hand, the domestic chemical raw materials, titanium dioxide business, the price Contrary to the case of foreign countries, the price of sulfuric acid rutile titanium dioxide mainstream manufacturers is about 17000-17500 yuan / ton, down 500 yuan / ton compared with the previous month.Not only the prices of manufacturers decline, the dealer Also said that this year's titanium dioxide market contrast is much worse last year, especially in the fourth quarter of this year sales are more general, and even dealers complain that because the beginning of a large number of Tuen goods that can be sold this year, a good price, absolutely no Think of selling a year has not sold out, even now encountered ultra-low-cost goods are still not dare to go in. For enterprises with loans, the last month of this year in order to realize, pay off loans are the year-end When the big promotion, many businesses are in order to impose a steady decline in the actual business impulse, the actual market transactions entered the low-cost period. At present domestic sulfuric acid gold Stone ex-factory price of titanium dioxide as low as 15200-15500 yuan / ton; the market turnover in the mainstream 17000-17500 yuan / ton. Anatase titanium dioxide ex-factory price as low as 12800-13200 yuan / ton; the mainstream market transactions in the 13500- 14,500 yuan / ton.
By the fall and winter of the comprehensive management of air pollution, as early as last month, more than limited production of titanium dioxide enterprises.Long Python Billions, Anhui Anadar and other limited production 30%; Dragon python base Deyang base December 15, 2017 Day - 25 titanium repair. Recent air pollution, Panzhihua Vanadium Titanium Industry Park titanium dioxide plant all discontinued, involving titanium dioxide annual capacity of more than 300,000 tons, the current manufacturers recovery time uncertain, according to market participants, the cut-off time of 3 -5 days .In December titanium dioxide output of about 180,000 tons, the operating rate of about 60% of the annual output in 2017 was about 2.64 million tons, compared with the previous year's production is still growing. Short-term partial stop of the region to boost the market Not much, not to mention the low season in the traditional needs of the domestic sulfuric acid method due to excess capacity of titanium dioxide itself, the product of serious homogeneity, fierce market competition.
The pressure of environmental protection policy is also aggravating this year, downstream paint paints, paper, plastics and other industries started to be gradually limited, the domestic demand is more inadequate, so the recent shutdown of chemical raw materials titanium dioxide production has not failed to bring strong support to the market, Titanium dioxide market is still difficult to get rid of the market downturn in the market conditions, so most of the market to maintain the main low-level operation.
