In September, both titanium dioxide (TiO2) production and capacity utilization declined. Domestic TiO2 capacity utilization stood at 71.39%, down by 1.91 percentage points from the previous period and 2.01 percentage points lower than in the same month last year. No new maintenance shutdowns were initiated during the month; current idle facilities primarily represent ongoing maintenance carried over from earlier periods, most of which are planned. Only a few units remain shut down due to economic factors. Total monthly TiO2 production losses amounted to 72,400 tons, a decrease of 1,600 tons compared with the previous month.
Sample Description: Chempricehub calculates China’s TiO2 output based on data from 49 domestic TiO2 producers, achieving a sample coverage rate exceeding 95%.
Definition: TiO2 production refers to the quantity of TiO2 meeting quality standards actually produced daily by manufacturing enterprises.
Statistical Scope: The reporting period covers one calendar month, with data released on the third-to-last working day of each month.
