With the coming of "Golden September", which is believed by businessmen to be a peak period of most manufacturing industries, titanium dioxide manufacturers are now looking forward to a favorable turn.

However, domestic titanium dioxide prices did not see much fluctuation by the end of August as small purchases from downstream users prevent the titanium dioxide prices from sharp rises.

A few manufacturers have already announced price increase last week, and it is forecast that the prices will climb slightly in early September.

Current quoted prices are 14,000-15,200 yuan/mt for rutile titanium dioxide, and 12,000-13,000 yuan/mt for anatase ones.
