Titanium dioxide enterprises enter the price increase tide has played a key role in market rationality

Titanium dioxide enterprises with the macroeconomic stabilization and titanium dioxide market demand for better, April 6 Longsheng announced price increases, played a role in the fourth wave of the market, the market business confidence recovery. Titanium Dioxide Enterprise China's titanium dioxide industry has undergone a period of deep adjustment after experiencing a period of rapid development. Due to the slowdown in demand growth and continuous expansion of supply, the titanium dioxide industry has entered a cyclical downward path since 2012, and the market price has continued to decline. In 2015, a steep decline has occurred. Most companies have approached the cost price, and some companies have fallen below costs. The entire market was shrouded in the icy cold weather.

In 2010, the price of titanium dioxide increased steadily. After both rutile and anatase titanium dioxide surged in early 2011, they began to decline at the end of the third quarter. From the end of 2011 to the beginning of 2012, the price of titanium dioxide once again rose strongly and hit a record high. Until 2014, the price of titanium dioxide remained low and maintained at a low level. In 2015, it fell to a record low. China is the world's largest producer and consumer, but it is generally in the low-end segment of the international industrial chain of division of labor, and the contradiction between the overcapacity of low-end products is prominent. By 2015, China's titanium dioxide production capacity will be 3.356 million tons, with a total output of 2,323,600 tons. The oversupply of low-end products is serious. Under the nest, the quail has finished eggs. The change in market prices has led to a deterioration in the production and operation of China's titanium dioxide enterprises, a substantial reduction in profits, and a serious shrinking of assets. The development of the industry undoubtedly entered the harsh winter. 2015 was the lowest profit year since the development of the industry. Since 2016, since the first price increase in Longxu, domestic titanium dioxide enterprises have entered the fourth wave of rising prices. Long Hao first pressed for a “single order”, in April. On the 6th, it was announced that domestic prices rose by 500 yuan/ton, and export prices rose by US$150/ton, laying the fourth wave of rising prices. In the opening year of the thirteenth five-year plan, the market price of titanium dioxide has played a key role.
