A total increase of 6200 yuan / ton Huiyun titanium industry seven price increases this year, a new round of titanium dioxide market may be "on the way"

With the arrival of the traditional peak season of "Gold, Nine and Silver Ten", the titanium dioxide industry ushered in a new wave of price increases. On the evening of September 14, Huiyun Titanium Industry (300891.SZ) announced that it would raise the price of titanium dioxide again, which is another price increase letter issued by a titanium dioxide manufacturer after 002601.SZ, 002145.SZ and 002136.SZ this week. Some people in the industry told reporters that the continued rise in the price of titanium dioxide is not only related to the growth of demand, but also related to the enforcement of environmental protection policies, and the industry may continue to concentrate on the head.

Huiyun Titanium Industry announced, "the company will increase the sales price of titanium dioxide, domestic customer sales price by 700 yuan / ton, international customer export price by 100 US dollars / ton." According to the reporter's statistics, Huiyun Titanium Industry has issued seven price increase letters this year, with a total price increase of 6200 yuan / ton for domestic customers.

In addition to Huiyun titanium industry, in the past two days, Longbai Group, China Nuclear Titanium dioxide and Anada have also announced that they will adjust the prices of their main products, among which various types of titanium dioxide of Longbai Group have raised 700 yuan / ton for domestic customers and $100 / ton for international customers. China Nuclear Titanium dioxide has increased 1000 yuan / ton for domestic customers and $150 / ton for international customers. Anada rutile titanium dioxide and anatase titanium dioxide domestic customer sales prices have increased by 1000 yuan / ton, export prices have increased by US $150 / ton.

Since the beginning of this year, the market demand for titanium dioxide is strong, and the performance of various titanium dioxide enterprises in the secondary market is very eye-catching. With regard to the rising market of titanium dioxide, the person in charge of the titanium dioxide strip line of an A-share listed company told reporters, "the reason for the rising price is not only the rising demand, but also the increasingly stringent environmental protection and safety policy." Because the production process in our country is mainly titanium sulfate, the discharge of solid waste from titanium sulfate is more, and the discharge of the three wastes is more, so many companies stop production, and the industry will concentrate on the head enterprises. "

The person in charge further pointed out that "at present, there are two processes for titanium dioxide, one is the sulfuric acid process of dissolving ilmenite with sulfuric acid, and the other is the chlorination process. 90% of our country is the sulfuric acid process, and the three waste emissions of the sulfuric acid process are relatively high."

It is worth noting that titanium dioxide may still have a new round of high tide in the future. A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said that "the relevant departments are working out the National Reserve Development Plan of the 14th five-year Plan, and will fully consider the proposal to include titanium dioxide in the national strategic resource reserve."
