    In terms of market analysis, this year’s titanium dioxide industry has frequently increased prices.
    After November, the price of titanium dioxide continues to rise.
    Among them, the market structure in short supply, strong export data, and still stable cost are the main factors.
    Impetus
    .

    With the uninterrupted price increase letter in recent days, titanium dioxide has once again ushered in a climax of price increase
    .
    Including Panzhihua Titanium Sea, Xingmao Titanium Industry and other nearly ten titanium dioxide announced price increases, the price increase range is about 500-1000 yuan / ton
    .
    It can be said that after the "Golden Nine and Silver Ten", the price of titanium dioxide continues to rise
    .

    On the whole, the rise of titanium dioxide in 2016 is a foregone conclusion.
    After a downturn in 2015, titanium dioxide has quickly entered the upward channel.
    Before the chemical industry has recovered its vitality, the price of titanium dioxide has risen by 50% compared with the beginning of the year, becoming a chemical market.
    A "dark horse" of
    .
    It is able to maintain the momentum to achieve a rebound in an environment where the domestic economy is not good enough.
    In 2015, titanium dioxide companies reduced production, downstream demand rebounded, environmental protection supervision became stricter, and high costs were driven by many factors.
    The real decisive factor still comes from titanium dioxide companies.
    After the difficulties in 2015, this year's titanium dioxide enterprises are finally proud
    .
      
      And the situation in November, still throughout the entire 2016, several factors still is the price of power 
      First, the market structure is still in short supply, the market has been watching the news, titanium dioxide producers subject to pressure from environmental policy , The output is difficult to match the market enthusiasm, enterprises generally have low inventories, and manufacturers in eastern, southwest, and southern China, where manufacturers are relatively concentrated, mostly produce single-line production
    .
      
      Second, strong export data
    .
    From January to September 2016, the total export of titanium dioxide was 540,603,305 tons.
    It only took 3 quarters to surpass the total export of 538,394,441 tons in 2015, exceeding 2200 tons, an increase of 0.
    41%.
    In the past, the export of rutile type accounted for the absolute highest.
    In most cases, anatase exports also rebounded in the fourth quarter.
    Even if the export price is slightly lower than the domestic trade price, manufacturers still give priority to export
    .
    As the renminbi continues to depreciate, the export-oriented titanium dioxide industry may continue to be strong
    .
     
      Third, the cost side remains stable
    .
    The price of titanium concentrate in Panxi region continued to rise last week, and some miners raised the price by RMB 50/ton
    .
    The increase in logistics costs such as automobile transportation has made the transportation costs of China Mines and other companies too high, and the current shortage of raw ore has led to the tight spot of China Mines; in addition, Panzhihua Iron and Steel recycles titanium ore on the spot, and the market spot supply is tightening, and some miners are hoarding goods.
    It is reluctant to sell; in addition, the downstream titanium dioxide prices have risen again, and the industry chain has become more profitable
    .
    At present, the price of titanium medium ore above 38 grade in Panxi area is about 650-700 yuan/ton (excluding tax), the price of 46 grade 10 titanium concentrate is between 1000-1080 yuan/ton (excluding tax), and the price of 47 grade titanium concentrate The price of ore is between 1050-1080 yuan/ton (excluding tax)
    .
      
      This year's titanium dioxide market was caught off guard by downstream and distributors.
    As prices continue to rise, complaints have become louder, but the market has become more prosperous.
    Manufacturers have increased their prices more firmly, and the magnitude has increased.
    The market chasing the rise and the fall is a good explanation for this phenomenon
    .
    There is only one month left in 2016, and time is difficult to support manufacturers to raise prices again.
    Of course, some companies do not rule out inflated prices
