Yesterday, the domestic titanium dioxide (TiO₂) market remained stable. The market is in its off-season with weak end-user demand. Producers face significant inventory pressure and have a strong willingness to ship goods and secure orders, leading to continuous price reductions and an overall downward trend. On the raw materials side, ilmenite prices continued to weaken, while sulfuric acid halted its downward trend. Bearish sentiment for the future remains strong, and prices are determined on a case-by-case basis. Current mainstream ex-factory prices for TiO₂ are: Rutile grade 12,800–15,200 RMB/ton; Anatase grade 12,300–13,200 RMB/ton; Chloride process grade 15,500–16,800 RMB/ton. Actual transactions are primarily negotiated individually, with specific high-end or low-end grades priced separately.
① Ilmenite: Panzhihua 46% grade, 10-mesh reference price is 1,010–1,050 RMB/ton.
② Sulfuric Acid: As of the previous working day, the sulfuric acid market maintained a generally weak trend. Specifically, the delivered reference price for 98% smelter-grade acid in Hubei was 1,250–1,500 RMB/ton; in Yunnan, it was 1,340–1,400 RMB/ton.
