According to SMM data, China's titanium dioxide production in January 2025 saw a slight decrease MoM. In early January, due to a significant increase in the costs of raw materials such as sulphuric acid and titanium concentrate, the policy prices of leading enterprises remained stable this month, and most titanium dioxide producers maintained firm quotations. Additionally, nearly 40% of enterprises were either cutting production or suspending operations, while the existing producers generally operated below full capacity. The market widely expects overseas markets to stockpile ahead of the holiday. As the overseas market enters the pre-holiday stockpiling period, the export market can still mitigate the impact of declining domestic demand. It is reported that some titanium dioxide manufacturers faced tight supply and issued price adjustment notices. By month-end, titanium dioxide producers raised domestic prices by 300-500 yuan/mt. However, considering the currently sluggish market demand, whether the price adjustments will be implemented remains to be tested by the market. Titanium dioxide prices will continue to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis, with the overall market showing a stable yet slightly weak trend. SMM predicts that domestic titanium dioxide production in February will fluctuate downward, mainly due to fewer working days.
