May prices of titanium dioxide
From the end of 2015, by the raw material prices and environmental costs “double increase” the impact of the domestic titanium dioxide industry set off a wave of continued price increases. Today, the development of titanium dioxide industry was wind and water, the price rose again and again round, surging from the tide of rising prices in the achievements of titanium dioxide business, but also led to the downstream countless individuals struggling.
According to the reporter to understand, including the town of Jiangsu Titanium, Panzhihua City, Haifeng Xin Chemical Co., Ltd., Yunnan Metallurgical New Titanium and other enterprises almost at the same time announced price increases. From January to May this year, this is the fifth round of titanium dioxide prices, titanium dioxide prices since the beginning of last year has been the overall increase of more than 76%.

According to public statistics, 2016 ending price of 15,300 yuan / ton, while the beginning of the price of only 10,900 yuan / ton, the annual increase of up to 40.36%, up nearly 5,000 yuan per ton.
In early February this year, Chemours, the world’s largest company, announced that it has upgraded all grades of Ti-Pure Titanium from North America, Canada, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa since March 1, 2017 White powder price. Among them, the Asia-Pacific region raised 150 US dollars / ton; North America and Canada raised 0.06 US dollars / lb; Latin America, Eastern Europe and other raised 200 US dollars / ton; Western Europe and Central Europe and other raised 200 euros / ton.
Subsequently, Huntsman (Huntsman) also announced that it raised its global sales of titanium dioxide (titanium dioxide) pigment prices. Among them, Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America raised 235 euros / ton or 250 US dollars / ton, the Asia-Pacific raised 160 US dollars / ton, the price increase from April 1, 2017 from the entry into force; North America raised 0.07 US dollars / lb, Effective March 1, 2017.

With the foreign titanium dioxide giant Komu, Huntsman have to adjust the price of the product, which seems to indicate that the domestic price of titanium dioxide is about to enter a new round of price increases.
Titanium dioxide prices rise reasons
Why is the price of titanium dioxide so crazy? The so-called titanium dioxide known as titanium dioxide, is a dye and pigment (white powder). Titanium dioxide in industrial production is a more important raw materials, widely used in coatings, plastics, rubber, cosmetics, ceramics, electronics, medicine and other industries.
South China Institute of Intelligent Innovation Zeng Haiwei that the state supply side of the reform and environmental protection and other factors out of a group of small scale, low efficiency titanium dioxide production enterprises. Therefore, titanium dioxide enterprises will gradually return to the rational, healthy and orderly development of the state.
It is easy to see that titanium dioxide prices behind the market is the inevitable result of healthy development. According to the reporter learned that, as early as 2015, titanium dioxide prices continued to decline, many companies are hard to find good, and some enterprises can not withstand the decline in prices eventually out of the industry. Zhongyu information analyst Zhu Lin in the “China Sankei Shimbun” reporter said that only in 2015 year time, foreign shut down 400,000 of the production capacity, the domestic also withdrew nearly 300,000 of the production capacity, these removed Production capacity together a total of 700,000 to 800,000.
“In the environmental pressure, the domestic enterprises in the production has been in control of production capacity, which also led to the manufacturers of stock tight, which will cause prices continue to rise.” Zhu Lin believes that upstream and downstream supply and demand is also an important push up momentum. From the upstream, titanium dioxide raw material titanium prices continue to rise, from the beginning of 2016 520 yuan rose to 1850 yuan, up more than 2 times; from the downstream demand side, titanium dioxide is mainly used for paint, and Paint production in 2016 prices are steadily rising, the upstream supply plus the downstream demand together caused by 2016 titanium dioxide prices all the way up.

Data show that in 2016, titanium dioxide exports amounted to 720,500 tons, a substantial increase of 33.82% over 2015. January-February 2017, the domestic titanium dioxide exports reached 11.15 million tons, compared with the same period last year increased by 15.31%.
From the analysis of the industry can be clear, the upstream raw materials, downstream prices rose, exports continue to support the growth of titanium dioxide prices.
Insiders believe that the increasing cost of logistics costs, but also makes the cost of titanium dioxide enterprises to increase the pressure, therefore, manufacturers only through the way titanium dioxide price increases in order to maintain the status quo.
