Market price of titanium products (June 16)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1528.75, unchanged from yesterday. The titanium ore market continues its weak trend. Domestic spot supply is ample, and companies face significant pressure to sell.
Both supply and demand are weak, and the market remains stable due to sluggish demand. Regarding imported ore, cost pressures remain high, making it difficult for beneficiation plants to break even. Downstream demand is unlikely to improve, resulting in large price differences in the imported titanium ore market and chaotic transaction prices, contributing to the weak market.
Titanium Slag
This month, the bidding price for 90% low-calcium magnesium high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was 5450 yuan/ton, a slight increase of 50 yuan/ton compared to May. With raw material and auxiliary material costs remaining high, high-titanium slag enterprises are under significant pressure. The market is actively supporting prices, and the high-titanium slag market is temporarily stable due to cost factors.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 5800-6000 yuan/ton. Liquid chlorine prices continue to recover and rise slightly. Titanium tetrachloride costs remain high, and the spot supply remains tight. Downstream demand is good, and companies are holding firm on prices.
Sponge Titanium
The sponge titanium market is stable. The mainstream price for grade 0 sponge titanium is 48,000-50,000 yuan/ton. Currently, the mainstream price for grade 1 sponge titanium (for civilian use) is 47,000-49,000 yuan/ton.
Downstream demand is weak, and new orders for sponge titanium are generally low. Some companies have slightly increased their inventory. The market is characterized by a strong supply-demand game, and prices are temporarily stable.
Titanium Dioxide
Today, the titanium dioxide price index is 16536.54, down 27.32 from yesterday. Sulfur and sulfuric acid prices are fluctuating at high levels. Titanium dioxide production costs are high, and the operating rate of some titanium dioxide plants has declined again.
However, the overall market operating rate remains high. Companies are experiencing sluggish sales, putting pressure on the market. Titanium dioxide prices are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

III. Industry Operating Rates
Titanium Ore
Major ore producers in the Panzhihua-Xichang region suspended outbound shipments this month. High raw material costs, coupled with the impact of environmental inspections, led to a decline in operating rates at beneficiation plants in the Xinjiu area of the Panzhihua-Xichang region. In Chengde, some beneficiation plants suspended production due to inspections by the central government's environmental supervision team.
Affected by raw material costs and supply, some companies reduced production, but overall market operating rates remained high.
Sponge Titanium
Sponge titanium companies maintained high operating rates.
