Weekly Report: Titanium Dioxide Prices (4/14-4/18)

Time: 2014-04-21 Source from: www.tio2.cn

Led by a South-west China based leading manufacturer, domestic manufacturers successively announced price increases, mostly by 300 yuan/mt.

 
Current titanium dioxide prices (including tax):
Rutile titanium dioxide: 11,800-13,000 yuan/mt
Anatase titanium dioxide: 10,000-11,000 yuan/mt
 
Market forecast:
Price hikes cannot necessarily mean the increase in demands. Though the buy-up principle that most buyers believe in may contribute to further rise of titanium dioxide prices, it doesn’t mean a consequent better market. Blind increase of production volume will be a potential risk for manufacturers, especially the small-sized ones. Accordingly, the prices in Chinese markets may see additional fluctuation in the short term.
