Titanium dioxide prices saw a modest increase last week. One of the reasons was that a leading titanium dioxide manufacturer got involved in water pollution scandal, leading to rumors that it would temporarily stop production.

Current titanium dioxide prices (price including tax):
Rutile titanium dioxide: 13,500-14,500 yuan/mt
Anatase titanium dioxide: 11,800-12,500 yuan/mt

Market Forecast:
Small purchases from downstream users prevent the titanium dioxide prices from consecutive rises, so it is believed that the prices will not continue to rise generally but vary according to specific offers instead.
