2. Titanium Dioxide Pigment Market Trends
- Raw material costs such as ilmenite remained firm, maintaining strong production cost pressure on TiO₂ producers.
- Sulfuric acid prices stayed mostly stable with minor adjustments: Yunnan at $109–$112 per ton, Guangxi at $106–$112 per ton, and Shandong at $82–$87 per ton. Strong fertilizer demand kept sulfuric acid consumption high, indirectly supporting TiO₂ production costs.
