SHANGHAI, Mar 9 (SMM) –According to SMM statistics, domestic photovoltaic module output in February was about 30.64 GW, up 5.29% from the previous month. Some module companies produced actively for order delivery due in February, leading to the output growth.

In addition, the recovery of demand also provided some support for module output due to bid solicitations by end-users after CNY holidays.

The fewer calendar days in February had a negative impact on production, though.

In March, as the number of calendar days increases and end-users continue to enter the market, module output is expected to reach around 35 GW.

Cost-Driven Titanium Dioxide Price Increases Took Effect, Market Price Adjustments Released Upward Signals [SMM Titanium Weekly Review]

[SMM Titanium Weekly Review: Cost-Driven Titanium Dioxide Price Hikes Took Effect, Market Adjustments Released Upward Signals] This week, the titanium industry chain showed a divergent trend. The titanium concentrate market remained in the doldrums, with imported ore prices falling लगातार under pressure from downstream efforts to push for lower prices and accumulating port inventory. Titanium dioxide, meanwhile, saw the second round of collective price adjustments in mid-month under persistently high sulphuric acid costs. Mainstream enterprises in China raised domestic prices by 500 yuan/mt and export prices by $100/mt, pushing the quoted center up to 14,000-14,500 yuan/mt, though follow-up from domestic demand remained mediocre and foreign trade orders showed clear divergence. The titanium slag market stayed in the doldrums, with prices under pressure amid weak costs and demand. In the titanium sponge market, leading enterprises took the lead in raising prices, with domestic prices up 2,000 yuan/mt and international prices up $300/mt. Supported by restocking demand for titanium materials and low inventory, the market showed a strong willingness to hold prices firm, but downstream processing segments still maintained a wait-and-see stance, and titanium ingot and titanium plate/strip prices only edged up slightly. Overall, cost support and structural demand divergence coexisted, and future price trends still depended on substantive improvement on the supply and demand side.
