Titanium Market Report (January 19)
I. Titanium Market Overview
Titanium Ore
Today, the Panzhihua-Xichang titanium ore price index was 1782.50, unchanged from the previous working day. Panzhihua ore prices remained stable, but the market price was high, putting significant cost pressure on downstream users. Enterprises were only purchasing to meet their immediate needs, and the market was largely in a wait-and-see mode. Short-term titanium ore prices are expected to remain stable.
Titanium Slag
In January, the bidding price for high-titanium slag from northern enterprises was 5400 yuan/ton, unchanged from December. High raw material prices put significant cost pressure on high-titanium slag, and downstream demand is unlikely to improve, so the market continues to operate at low levels.
The market price for titanium tetrachloride was 4800-5550 yuan/ton. High chlorine prices, high raw material costs, and reduced titanium tetrachloride supply have kept the market temporarily stable. Some transaction prices are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
Titanium Sponge
Grade 1 titanium sponge for civilian use is quoted at around 45,000-47,000 yuan/ton, while Grade 0 titanium sponge is quoted at around 46,000-48,000 yuan/ton. Downstream demand is stable, supported by existing orders and high raw material costs, keeping titanium sponge prices firm.
Today's titanium dioxide price index is 13490.03, unchanged from the previous working day. Market orders are weak, exports remain stable and performing well, but cost pressures are significant. Prices are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, and the market is largely awaiting news from leading companies.

III. Industry Operating Rates
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, keeping titanium dioxide operating rates at high levels.
Titanium Sponge
Titanium sponge companies are operating at high levels.
