Titanium Market Overview

Titanium ore: The Panxi titanium ore price index stood at 1,261.25 today, unchanged from yesterday. Following price cuts by major Panxi producers, price spreads in the titanium ore market have narrowed; major producers have destocked noticeably recently, tightening raw material supply. With concentrators' production costs still high, some enterprises show a willingness to hold prices firm, and most miners are in a wait-and-see mode.

Imported ore: Shipments of imported titanium ore remained sluggish, and some prices were earlier cut to low levels, leaving market prices somewhat chaotic. As titanium feedstock imports gradually decline and cost pressures persist, concentrator quotes may gradually stabilize later on, with the market largely in a wait-and-see mode.

Titanium slag: In July, the tender price for 90% low-calcium-magnesium high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was CNY 5,400/ton, down CNY 50/ton from June. No new tender round has been launched in August so far. Downstream operating rates have declined, near-term demand for high-titanium slag has shrunk, and supply remains ample, putting heavy pressure on shipments. Weighed by raw and auxiliary material costs, high-titanium slag prices stayed steady for now.

Titanium tetrachloride: Market quotes ranged from CNY 5,800 to 6,000/ton. Supply and demand were broadly balanced, shipments were stable, and prices continued to move steadily.

Titanium sponge: The market remained weak. Mainstream quotes for grade-0 titanium sponge stood at around CNY 45,000–46,000/ton, while mainstream quotes for civil-use grade-1 titanium sponge were around CNY 44,000–45,000/ton. Demand was soft overall, leaving producers under heavy shipment pressure amid intense competition. Combined with cost pressures and load cuts at some producers, titanium sponge prices ran weak but stable for now.

Titanium dioxide: The titanium dioxide price index stood at 14,676.56 today, unchanged from yesterday. In the seasonal off-season, the TiO2 market ran weak and stable, with performance diverging across producers; some transaction prices edged lower within a stable range. It is learned that a leading enterprise will implement a new pricing policy at the end of the month, and the market remains largely in a wait-and-see mode. In the near term, TiO2 prices are expected to hold steady.
