Highlights at a glance

This report provides a concise overview of current market conditions across key titanium segments in China. Titanium ore prices remain stable at 1775.00 index points with tight supply as miners fulfill orders before holidays. Titanium slag sees a slight price decline to 5300 yuan/ton due to sluggish downstream demand and reduced operations. Titanium tetrachloride maintains firm pricing between 4800-5550 yuan/ton despite fewer new orders. Sponge titanium prices hold steady with Grade 1 at 45,000-47,000 RMB/ton, supported by strong backlogs and high operating rates. Titanium dioxide remains stable at 13490.03 index with manufacturers maintaining prices despite high production costs, though some grades face supply shortages. Operating rates vary: titanium ore production is constrained by mining permits and weather, titanium dioxide may decline due to maintenance, while sponge titanium runs at high capacity. The analysis highlights stable pricing overall amid seasonal demand shifts and supply constraints.

I. Titanium Market Overview

Titanium Ore

Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index is 1775.00, unchanged from yesterday. With the holiday approaching, miners are actively fulfilling existing orders, resulting in limited raw material supply and high prices. Titanium ore prices are expected to remain stable.

Titanium Slag

In February, the bidding price for 90% low-calcium magnesium high-grade slag from northern enterprises was 5300 yuan/ton, a decrease of 100 yuan/ton compared to January. The downstream market is sluggish, and coupled with the holiday effect, slag plants in Yunnan are gradually entering their holiday period, leading to a decline in high-grade slag operating rates in February.

Titanium Tetrachloride

The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 4800-5550 yuan/ton. The titanium tetrachloride market is currently stable, with a decrease in new orders. Supply from some enterprises may decrease later, keeping titanium tetrachloride prices firm.

Titanium Sponge

Grade 1 titanium sponge (civilian grade) is quoted at around 45,000-47,000 RMB/ton, while Grade 0 titanium sponge is quoted at around 46,000-48,000 RMB/ton. Companies have stable order backlogs, and market prices remain stable. Company operating rates remain high, and the titanium sponge market is currently stable.

Titanium Dioxide

Today's titanium dioxide price index is 13490.03, unchanged from yesterday. High raw material production costs have led titanium dioxide companies to maintain stable prices, with major manufacturers keeping prices stable. As end-user demand weakens, market shipments are gradually decreasing, and some grades are experiencing supply shortages. Overall, the titanium dioxide market remains stable.

III. Industry Operating Rates

Titanium Ore

Raw material supply in the Panxi region is tight, and beneficiation plants are operating below capacity. In Yunnan, only a few beneficiation plants are operating due to mining permit issues. Low temperatures in Chengde have resulted in overall insufficient domestic titanium ore production.

Titanium Dioxide

Some companies have maintenance plans, leading to an expected decline in titanium dioxide production.

Titanium Sponge

Titanium sponge companies are operating at high capacity.
