1、 Price trend

Taking the sulfuric acid method for producing pyrite type titanium dioxide, which has a large volume of goods in the domestic market, as an example, according to data monitoring by Business Society, the price of titanium dioxide in the domestic market fell in July. On July 1st, the average price of titanium dioxide was 13720 yuan/ton, and on July 27th, the average price of titanium dioxide was 13640 yuan/ton, with a price reduction of 0.58%.
2、 Market analysis
The domestic titanium dioxide market prices fell in July. The market situation was light in the first ten days, and downstream factories and traders were more cautious. The trading atmosphere on the market was insufficient, and the market center of gravity shifted downwards. In the middle of the month, the overall demand in the downstream market was weak, and the downstream market was cautious in purchasing goods. The market temporarily stabilized and operated. It is difficult to find favorable support in the second half of the year, and the market has slightly lowered its price. As of now, the domestic quotation for sulfuric acid based pyrite type titanium dioxide is mostly between 12900-14100 yuan/ton; Sharp titanium type costs around 11900-12300 yuan/ton; The actual transaction price is negotiable.
In terms of titanium concentrate, the price of titanium concentrate fluctuated upward in July. This month, the supply of raw ore in the Panxi region has decreased, coupled with high costs, resulting in an increase in prices. But currently, terminal demand is weak, production is insufficient, and raw material procurement is cautious, resulting in severe market price pressure. As of now, the transaction price of 46,10 titanium ore for small and medium-sized manufacturers is between 1750-2000 yuan/ton; The price of 47,20 minerals ranges from 1900-2100 yuan/ton; The price of 38 titanium ore excluding tax is around 1100-1200 yuan/ton. It is expected that the market will remain stable in the short term.

3、 Future forecast
Business Society’s titanium dioxide analyst believes that the domestic titanium dioxide market will continue to decline this month. The domestic downstream market demand is in the off-season, and new orders on the market are being cautiously executed. Internationally, the market export situation remains weak. It is expected that the price of titanium dioxide will remain weak and stable in the short term, and the actual transaction price will be subject to negotiation.
