Driven by soaring costs, the long-dormant domestic titanium dioxide market has experienced a wave of price increases since March. Industry leaders and related industry chain insiders have revealed that due to the continuous rise in sulfur and sulfuric acid costs, domestic titanium dioxide prices have recorded three consecutive increases in March alone, with a total increase of about 2,000 yuan per ton. Analysts point out that although the recent price hikes have partially taken effect, industry companies still face operational pressures under high-cost influences, and the short-term bullish market trend may continue.

Driven by surging costs, China’s domestic titanium dioxide (TiO2) market, which has been quiet for a long time, has seen a wave of price increases since March. Reporters learned from industry leaders and related sources in the supply chain that, due to continuously rising costs for sulfur and sulfuric acid, in just March alone, domestic TiO2 prices recorded three consecutive increases, with the cumulative increase reaching around 2,000 yuan per ton. Analysts noted that although the TiO2 price increases have already been partially implemented at present, under the impact of high costs, industry companies still face operating pressure; in the near term, the market’s bullish trend may continue.
