    "Since this year, with the steady growth of titanium dioxide production capacity, problems such as soaring raw material prices and supply shortages have become more prominent


    Since the beginning of this year, the titanium dioxide industry has continued to maintain a good momentum of development, and the scale of production capacity has been further expanded


    Since the beginning of this year, the titanium dioxide industry has continued to maintain a good momentum of development, and the scale of production capacity has been further expanded


    It is understood that among the multiple expansion or new titanium dioxide projects that have been disclosed, in addition to several projects that will be completed or basically completed before the end of 2021, at least 8 projects will be completed and put into operation in the industry in the next 1-2 years.


    With the rapid expansion of production capacity, Bi Sheng believes that the industry should pay close attention to the bottleneck of raw material supply


    "Since 2020, due to the strong market demand for titanium dioxide, the industry has basically produced high-load production, and the supply and demand relationship of titanium ore has become increasingly tense, and prices have continued to rise


    It is understood that up to now, among the 42 domestic full-process titanium dioxide production enterprises, only Pangang, Longbai, Dahutong, China Nuclear and Longteng have their own titanium ore raw material bases.


    According to published information, from 2021 to 2022, the total production capacity of the chlorination process will reach at least 650,000 tons/year, of which the boiling process will have a production capacity of more than 600,000 tons/year


    Bi Sheng pointed out that for the new chlorination titanium dioxide project, besides high investment and high-end technology and talents, the source of titanium raw materials is also a key issue
    .
    It will be an indisputable fact that the supply and demand of raw materials for the production of chlorinated titanium dioxide will be tight in the future
