Market price of titanium products (June 18)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1472.50, down 56.25 from yesterday. Titanium ore prices remained weak and stable. Downstream titanium dioxide producers faced significant cost pressures, leading to strong purchasing pressure and stagnant market transactions.
The supply-demand imbalance persisted. Major Panzhihua producers lowered their June guidance prices by 100 yuan/ton, narrowing the price gap with smaller producers, and the market remained weak. Regarding imported ore, downstream demand lacked positive factors, and the imported titanium ore market experienced large price differences and chaotic transaction prices, making it difficult to stabilize the market's center of gravity. The market is expected to continue its downward trend.
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 faced significant pressure. The operating rate of high-titanium slag plants improved this month, while prices remained generally stable.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride is 5800-6000 yuan/ton. Downstream demand for titanium tetrachloride is generally good, supporting cost prices. Enterprises are shipping steadily, and market prices are stable.
Sponge Titanium
The sponge titanium market is stable. The mainstream price for grade 0 sponge titanium is 48,000-50,000 yuan/ton, while the mainstream price for grade 1 civilian sponge titanium is 47,000-49,000 yuan/ton. Downstream demand is weak, new orders for sponge titanium are generally low, and some enterprises have slightly increased their inventories. The market is characterized by a strong supply-demand game, and market prices are temporarily stable.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 16536.54, unchanged from yesterday. Shipments in the titanium dioxide market remain sluggish, factory inventories are gradually increasing, and the cost of raw materials for enterprises has increased. In addition, the supply of smelting acid in some regions is expected to decrease later, putting significant pressure on sulfuric acid process titanium dioxide. Market transactions are still under pressure to maintain prices.
Chloride process titanium dioxide is operating at high capacity, with good enterprise profitability and overall stable prices. The titanium dioxide market continues to show increasing differentiation, and market prices are chaotic.

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