Market Analysis

Domestic titanium dioxide prices fell in November. In the first ten days of the month, demand was weak, new orders were limited, and inventory pressure was high, leading to a downward trend in the market. The market remained stagnant in the middle of the month, largely adopting a wait-and-see approach. In the latter part of the month, high upstream raw material prices, energy costs, and environmental regulations impacted prices. Several titanium dioxide companies, including Longbai, Titanium Energy, Anada, and Dawn, issued letters raising prices. Two international titanium dioxide giants, Connors and Tronox, also announced price increases, raising their products by $130-150 per ton starting January 1st. As of November 27, domestic sulfuric acid process rutile titanium dioxide was mostly quoted between 12,900-13,900 RMB/ton; anatase titanium dioxide was around 12,000-12,500 RMB/ton, with actual transaction prices negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

According to customs data, China's titanium dioxide exports in October totaled 146,000 tons, down 6.4% month-on-month and 5.2% year-on-year. Among them, exports of titanium dioxide produced by the sulfuric acid process totaled 114,000 tons, down 10.9% month-on-month, while exports of titanium dioxide produced by the chloride process totaled 32,300 tons, up 12.2% month-on-month.

In October 2025, titanium dioxide imports totaled 5,644.56 tons, a decrease of 11.56% compared to the previous month (6,382.348 tons in September 2025) and a decrease of 12.44% compared to the same period last year (6,446.65 tons in October 2024).

Market Forecast:

According to analysts at SunSirs, several titanium dioxide companies issued letters at the end of this month raising their prices, influenced by high costs associated with upstream raw materials, energy, and environmental regulations. The market is expected to remain stable with a slight upward trend in the short term, with actual transaction prices negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
