[SMM Titanium Spot Cargo Update: Titanium Dioxide Prices Continue to Hit Bottom, While Sponge Titanium Remains High and Consolidated] SMM reported on June 30 that titanium product prices continued to diverge at month-end: the average price of rutile titanium dioxide was 13,250 yuan/mt, anatase titanium dioxide was 12,100 yuan/mt, and chloride-process titanium dioxide was 16,400 yuan/mt, with the market still in a downward trend; Grade 0 sponge titanium remained stable at 52,500 yuan/mt. The titanium dioxide market is facing weak domestic and external demand, with small and medium-sized enterprises cutting production to alleviate inventory pressure, while large manufacturers are gradually experiencing destocking pressure. Sponge titanium, on the other hand, benefits from the rigid demand of the military industry and support from emerging fields, maintaining a high level of operation. It is expected that titanium dioxide will remain in the doldrums in the short term, while sponge titanium needs to monitor changes in export orders.

[SMM Titanium Weekly Review: Strong Support from High-end Demand, Continuous Pressure on Basic Products] This week, the titanium market showed a clear divergence in trends. Sponge titanium prices continued to rise, with Grade 0 quoted at 53,500 yuan/mt, and trading volume significantly increased driven by large overseas orders. The titanium material market saw robust demand from the military sector, with TA1 titanium ingot priced at 59,000-60,000 yuan/mt. However, the titanium dioxide market remained in a downward trend, with rutile-type titanium dioxide priced at 13,000-14,300 yuan/mt. Despite production cuts by manufacturers, inventory pressure persisted. Titanium concentrate (TiO2≥47%) was priced at 2,000-2,150 yuan/mt, with sluggish demand affected by the off-season. Overall, high-end titanium products performed strongly, supported by military and export demand, while the civilian sector still awaited demand recovery. The market divergence pattern is likely to continue.

[SMM Analysis: China's Titanium Dioxide Industry Faces Unprecedented Challenges, with Anti-Dumping and Tariff Impacts - Where is the Path for Exports?] The titanium dioxide industry is currently facing unprecedented challenges, with prices falling to their lowest point in three years. SMM data shows that in June, the price range for anatase titanium dioxide was 12,000-12,600 yuan/mt, for rutile titanium dioxide was 13,000-14,300 yuan/mt, and for chloride process titanium dioxide was 16,000-17,000 yuan/mt. The overseas market is fraught with crises: India has imposed anti-dumping duties, Europe has levied surcharges, and the Middle East conflict has escalated, leading to successive blockages in the three major export markets. The domestic market is also not optimistic, presenting a difficult situation of "inventory buildup in large factories and production cuts in small factories." Leading enterprises can still maintain high prices, while small and medium-sized enterprises are trapped in a struggle for survival at low prices.
