2. Titanium Dioxide Pigment Market Trends

• The rise in raw material costs, especially ilmenite and sulfuric acid, continues to pressure producers. Sulfuric acid prices in Guangxi remain at $103–$109 per ton, while in Hunan they are lower at $82–$95 per ton due to local supply differences.
• Production losses persist across the industry, but strong raw material costs and the “Golden September, Silver October” demand season support higher TiO₂ prices.
• Exports remain under pressure, limiting some producers’ operating rates. However, domestic demand is gradually strengthening, leading to better market sentiment.

3. Market Forecast

• High production costs and seasonal demand are expected to sustain upward momentum in TiO₂ prices in the short term.
• More producers are likely to announce price increases of $28–$42 per ton, supporting a gradual recovery in the market.
• Inventory reduction, coupled with plant maintenance at large enterprises, will further tighten supply and provide room for continued price gains.
