2、 Market analysis
The domestic titanium dioxide market stopped falling and stabilized in August. In the first half of the year, market demand was weak, downstream factories and traders were more cautious, and the trading atmosphere on the market was insufficient, causing the market focus to shift downwards. In the middle of the month, the overall demand in the downstream market is average, and downstream procurement is relatively cautious. The market is temporarily stable and operating. In the latter half of the month, titanium dioxide companies jointly issued a letter announcing a price increase, and the trading atmosphere on the market has improved compared to before. As of now, the domestic quotation for sulfuric acid based pyrite type titanium dioxide is mostly between 12900-13800 yuan/ton; The price of the titanium type is around 11600-11900 yuan/ton, and the actual transaction price is negotiable.
In terms of titanium concentrate, the price of titanium concentrate slightly decreased in August. This month’s terminal demand is light, and we are cautious about purchasing raw materials. Affected by the decrease in raw ore supply, new orders are deadlocked, and the market is mainly observing and waiting. As of now, the transaction price of 46,10 titanium ore for small and medium-sized manufacturers is between 1750-1900 yuan/ton; The price of 47,20 minerals ranges from 1900-2100 yuan/ton; The price of 38 titanium ore excluding tax is around 1100-1230 yuan/ton. It is expected that the market will remain stable in the short term.

According to customs data statistics, in July 2025, China imported 7307.17 tons of titanium dioxide, a year-on-year decrease of 19.60% and a month on month increase of 49.48%; Among them, 5309.92 tons were imported by chlorination method.

3、 Future forecast
Business Society’s titanium dioxide analyst believes that the domestic titanium dioxide market has stopped falling and stabilized this month. Multiple titanium dioxide companies have sent letters to raise the price of titanium dioxide, resulting in a slight decrease in inventory for major manufacturers. Some companies are implementing new prices, but downstream factories are generally less enthusiastic about purchasing goods, and the market is mostly observing the dynamics of Longqi next month. It is expected that in the short term, the market will mainly operate in a wait-and-see manner, and the actual transaction price will be subject to negotiation.
