Analysis review

Last week, the domestic titanium dioxide market stabilized. As of October 17, demand was moderate, raw material production costs remained high, and manufacturers faceed significant operating pressure. However, downstream demand was low, and new orders were falling short of expectations. The market was stagnant due to market turmoil, with many adopting a wait-and-see approach. As of October 17, domestic rutile titanium dioxide produced by the sulfuric acid process was priced between 13,200 and 14,200 RMB/ton; anatase was around 12,000-12,500 RMB/ton; and chloride-process titanium dioxide was priced between 13,600 and 16,500 RMB/ton. Actual transaction prices were negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
