The main factors affecting the production of titanium dioxide in winter will come from the market rather than environmental protection.
Abstract: At the end of September, more than 10 domestic titanium dioxide enterprises announced the price increase of titanium dioxide. At that time, Ruidao judged that due to poor downstream demand, the price increase plan would be lost. This judgment was also confirmed by the subsequent market trend.
At the end of September, more than 10 domestic titanium dioxide enterprises announced the price increase of titanium dioxide. At that time, Ruidao judged that due to poor downstream demand, the price increase plan would be lost. This judgment was also confirmed by the subsequent market trend. As downstream companies do not accept price increases, the price increase plan for titanium dioxide enterprises has not only been almost all stranded, but the prices of individual companies and individual models have dropped slightly. October was the golden period of sales of titanium dioxide, but this year's abnormally weak downstream demand led the domestic titanium dioxide market to barely maintain its downside. With the arrival of the off-season, the future titanium dioxide market will face a more severe test, and the downward pressure on prices will gradually increase.
In October, the domestic titanium dioxide market did not show a good trend, and the market performance was flat. With the traditional off-season, titanium dioxide companies will face market pressure in the coming winter. As the weather turns cold, the demand for titanium dioxide will gradually decrease. The loosening of European titanium dioxide prices will also put pressure on the export of domestic titanium dioxide. If the titanium dioxide enterprises have sales pressure, they may ease the increase in inventory by adjusting the winter operating rate. As a result, the impact of environmental protection policies such as winter peak production on the titanium dioxide market will be extremely limited, and the main factors that restrict production will come from the market itself.
