The company pointed out that in terms of vanadium industry, after the sharp increase of vanadium market price in 2018, some end users use vanadium substitutes, and some stone coal vanadium extraction enterprises resume production to increase the supply. In the first half of 2019, the overall vanadium market price showed a downward trend. In terms of titanium industry, domestic sulfuric acid titanium dioxide mainly focuses on the upgrading of existing production lines, with little change in capacity scale. Chlorinated titanium dioxide is the future development direction of titanium dioxide industry, with obvious domestic development trend. There are as many as 5-6 new titanium dioxide chloride enterprises to be built, and all of them have certain technical and financial capacity. Accordingly, the company has determined the future development strategy and direction of titanium chloride white, and actively participated in the domestic market development of titanium chloride white. Under the new national environmental protection policy, although the cost of business development has increased, with the promotion of supply side reform, strict environmental protection policy, acceleration of industry integration process and continuous recovery of the terminal industry, large titanium dioxide enterprises have a good momentum of development, which is conducive to the improvement of industry concentration and the construction of an orderly market environment for domestic titanium dioxide development It will also benefit from a better business environment.
