The titanium industry in 2024 still faces many uncertainties in its development, with the overall market environment continuing to accelerate the elimination of players, and industry concentration expected to further increase, with the trend of market segmentation becoming more pronounced.
Against the backdrop of a complex domestic and international economic environment, Chinese titanium companies face both opportunities and challenges. With the ongoing anti-dumping incidents overseas, the development direction of the titanium dioxide market has become a focus of attention within the industry. As titanium dioxide production capacity expands rapidly, the supply of corresponding raw materials has also become a hot topic of discussion in the industry. Although titanium ore production has also continued to be released in certain regions, the supply of high-quality intermediate ore is relatively scarce, and the supply of uneven raw materials in the market has increased slightly. In contrast, the overall trend of the zirconium market price in the first half of 2024 has been one of an initial rise followed by stabilization. The prices of imported zircon ore have been maintained at relatively high levels since the beginning of the year, with limited pullback, providing solid cost support. Concentrating plants have actively promoted the increase in zircon sand prices, and downstream zirconium product prices have also risen in tandem. However, as domestic demand growth momentum is insufficient, the product prices in the zirconium market have also begun to adjust steadily. As the downstream of both the titanium and zirconium industries have begun to focus on cost control as the main production goal, consumption downgrade has become a key keyword.
In this context, high-quality raw material suppliers and downstream companies with stable demand have become an important link in helping the industry chain develop in a virtuous manner. The game of price deadlock between buyers and sellers has shifted to seeking mutually beneficial long-term cooperation, and upstream and downstream enterprises in the titanium and zirconium markets are eager to meet and consult.
In light of the above situation, BAIINFO (www.baiinfo.com) will host the “BAIINFO 2024 (9th) Titanium and Zirconium Industry Chain Forum and Supply-Demand Negotiation Conference” in Xiamen, Fujian on August 14-15, 2024. We sincerely invite relevant personnel from the Chinese titanium and zirconium industries to attend, to directly address the supply side of resources, discuss trade cooperation, and jointly promote the upward development of the Chinese titanium and zirconium industries!
