A number of titanium dioxide companies raised product prices
It is understood that Panzhihua titanium sea technology issued a price adjustment letter, Chinese customers increased 500 yuan/ton; Foreign trade customers rose 80 yuan/ton, from December 18 to implement. The listed price of Ji 'nan Yuxing titanium dioxide also rose by 300 to 17,800 yuan/ton. Hebei Shuangma chemical rutile titanium dioxide rose 300 to 16800 yuan/ton, anatase titanium dioxide rose 200 to 14000 yuan/ton. In this sluggish demand in the winter season issued a price adjustment letter to the titanium dioxide market will undoubtedly inject vitality, then other suppliers will follow up?
Foreign titanium dioxide market, Teno announced that from January 1, 2018, it will increase the price of all Tronox titanium dioxide (Tio2) products, up 125 US dollars/ton in the Asia-Pacific region, and 165 Australian dollars/ton in Australia. Chemus announced that from January 1, 2018, the price of Ti-Pure titanium dioxide sold in Greater China will be increased by 150 US dollars/ton, and the special specifications R-350 and TS-6300 will be increased by 200 US dollars/ton. Due to the rise in the price of titanium dioxide in Europe cannot be accepted by the terminal market, titanium dioxide merchants import titanium dioxide from Asia according to the scale of customers and the degree of downstream price acceptance, which is used to ease the price rise in the first quarter of next year. Industry forecast European titanium dioxide market price growth momentum will continue until the first quarter of next year, affected by the basic supply restrictions, it is expected that the price per ton of titanium dioxide will increase by 100 euros.
In terms of supply and demand in China, affected by the comprehensive control of air pollution in autumn and winter, titanium dioxide enterprises have limited production. Longboa Baililian (002601, stock bar), Anhui Ananda (002136, stock bar) and other consecutive months limited production 30%; Longpython Baililian Deyang base on December 15-25, 2017 titanium industry routine maintenance. However, Zhongyu Information heard that this week Panzhihua Vanadium and titanium Industrial Park titanium dioxide factory has resumed production, Ningbo Xinfu this week has also resumed production, market supply growth. Affected by environmental governance at the end of the year, the downstream demand side has also tightened. For the sake of the environment and safety, chemical companies that once made huge contributions to local government GDP once again made sacrifices, either transforming and upgrading, relocating or being eliminated. It can be seen that the actual demand for titanium dioxide in China is not optimistic, in the traditional off-season demand, the low level of a few enterprises can not change the fate of the overall market of titanium dioxide flat, Zhongyu information is expected in December titanium dioxide export situation is good, the Chinese market demand is weak, the mainstream price of titanium dioxide is stable.
