China Titanium Market Report (January 14)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index is 1795.00, unchanged from yesterday. Raw material prices in the Panzhihua-Xichang region remain high, with downstream enterprises purchasing only as needed. New orders in the titanium ore market are generally weak, and market prices remain stable.
Titanium Slag
In January, the bidding price for high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was 5400 yuan/ton, unchanged from December. This month, high costs for electricity and other auxiliary materials have kept high-titanium slag prices low, leading to a pessimistic market sentiment and persistently low operating rates. Acid slag prices have increased for some enterprises due to cost factors, but downstream demand is strong, resulting in a supply-demand balance.
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 4800-5550 yuan/ton. Raw material costs remain stable, and the supply and demand of titanium tetrachloride are in tight balance. Enterprises are maintaining firm prices, with some transactions negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
Titanium Sponge
Grade 1 titanium sponge for civilian use 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. Titanium sponge prices remain firm, with companies fulfilling new orders and operating at high capacity, resulting in a stable market.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 13490.03, unchanged from yesterday. The titanium dioxide market has been stable recently, with export orders remaining strong. Coupled with low inventory levels, some companies are anticipating further price increases, leading to increased market caution.

Titanium Ore
Road transportation in the Panzhihua-Xichang-Xinjiang-Jiujiang region has resumed, and increased raw material supply has boosted operating rates. However, domestic titanium ore production is generally insufficient due to mining permit issues in Yunnan and low temperatures in Chengde.
Titanium Dioxide
Some companies have maintenance plans this month, resulting in high operating rates for titanium dioxide production.
