Another giant titanium Connors also raised prices in June, the magnitude of approximately $ 250 per ton. Frequent overseas giants raise prices, or will have a cumulative effect, triggering domestic market resonance.

Zhengbao According to reports, the global giant DuPont titanium plates dioxide will be held October 1 raised prices, Asia and Latin America, and Europe, Middle East, Africa, DuPont titanium dioxide market price increases to $ 100 US dollars / ton, the euro market raised € 75 / tonne.

While the first two overseas giants did not raise the domestic market with the price rise, but the industry believes that the demonstration effect of the price increase will bring more than ever before. Mainly for two reasons: First, the domestic titanium dioxide market is selling season, shipments of enterprise better business situation has improved; the second is tighter environmental policy, it was reported that the ministry is currently working on the titanium material dioxide industry pollutant prevention policies NDRC also developing energy titanium dioxide industry standards, help control the supply capacity.

The domestic market, due to enter the season, titanium boom to pick up, some companies raise prices for nearly a week in the 200-300 yuan per ton. Currently rutile titanium dioxide tax prices 13000-14500 yuan / ton, anatase titanium dioxide tax prices in 11200-12500 yuan / ton.

On the other hand, the market demand for the emergence of new highlights, in addition to traditional paint applications, flue gas denitration catalyst exhaust gas treatment brought about by the demand began to rise, institutions predict will bring new demand 422,400 tons of titanium dioxide, effectively alleviate titanium supply and demand.

Overall, due to the manufacturers to limit production and tighter environmental policy, titanium flat bar dioxide industry supply and demand situation had improved, the demonstration effect of price increases brought about by overseas giants, domestic titanium dioxide prices still have room for improvement.
