Titanium Dioxide Market in Jun 2017: Prices Declines on the Tepid Demand

Rutile Titanium Dioxide Market

Rutile Titanium Dioxide

The Chinese rutile titanium dioxide market fluctuated down in June 2017. First, the titanium concentrate remained weak, which weighed on the titanium dioxide market. Second, the downstream demand for rutile titanium dioxide declined and most rutile titanium dioxide producers saw sales pressure. The dealing prices were negotiable. Up to the end of June, the mainstream negotiation price of rutile titanium dioxide was in the range of RMB 17,500-18,500/mt.

Anatase Titanium Dioxide

Anatase Titanium Dioxide

The anatase titanium dioxide market went down this month. The declines in the raw material market and weak demand were the main reasons. Up to the end of June, the mainstream reference prices were in the range of RMB 15,500-16,000/mt.   

Forecast:

It is predicted that the Chinese titanium dioxide market will inch up first and become weak in the short term as the global titanium dioxide producers raised prices, which will boost the Chinese market. The offseason atmosphere will continue exist in the Chinese market.
