As February begins and the market resumes after the Spring Festival holiday, titanium dioxide prices have largely remained firm, consistent with pre-holiday levels. During the holiday, the market saw little change, as most producers had already finalized their pricing policies before the holiday. With logistics operations mostly suspended, only a small portion of producers were in the process of delivering pre-holiday orders. As the holiday ends and logistics gradually resume, the delivery of these orders is expected to accelerate.

For end-users, most had arranged stockpiling before the holiday, though some placed orders based on immediate needs after the holiday. However, the quantities purchased were generally small, representing a minor wave of demand. These buyers universally hoped to secure products at pre-holiday prices.

As of February 5th, a total of 22 producers have announced price increases. Currently, order backlogs remain significant for some producers, with a few scheduled to fulfill orders until the end of February. Overall, producers are facing minimal inventory pressure. Additionally, some producers have completed routine maintenance and resumed normal operations, leading to an improvement in the overall market operating rate.
