Titanium Market Report (January 6)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1795.00, unchanged from yesterday. The Panzhihua ore market was generally stable, with prices holding steady at high levels. Some Grade 10 titanium ore was quoted at 1650 yuan/ton. Downstream pressure was significant, and the titanium ore market was characterized by a wait-and-see attitude.
In January, the bidding price for high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was 5400 yuan/ton, unchanged from December. The low price of titanium slag led to losses for slag plants, resulting in low operating rates for acid slag and high-titanium slag, and a generally weak market sentiment.
Titanium Tetrachloride
The market price for titanium tetrachloride was 4800-5500 yuan/ton. The titanium tetrachloride market was generally stable, with downstream operations remaining stable and shipments of titanium tetrachloride being acceptable. Prices continued to remain stable.
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. Mainstream prices for titanium sponge remain stable, with strong supply-demand dynamics, resulting in a temporarily stable market price.
Titanium Dioxide
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 13424.70, unchanged from yesterday. The titanium dioxide market is generally stable, with weak order intake and mostly negotiated prices on a case-by-case basis. While raw material sulfuric acid has seen a slight correction, many factories are still operating at a loss, putting pressure on the market.

III. Industry Operating Rates
Titanium Ore
Water beneficiation plants in the Panzhihua-Xichang-Xinjiu region are still operating below capacity. Domestic titanium ore supply is generally insufficient due to mining permit issues in Yunnan and low temperatures in Chengde.
Previously shut-down plants have resumed production. A few companies have planned maintenance shutdowns this month, keeping titanium dioxide operating rates high.
Sponge Titanium
Sponge titanium plants are operating at high capacity.
