Titanium dioxide Market in March

At the end of February, the domestic titanium dioxide price market is still strong According to Yang Xun, an analyst of Yan titanium industry, the raw material spot is tight and the price is high Affected by the logistics and transportation, some spot supplies are still tight In February, the market price of titanium dioxide seized the tail of that month, and most manufacturers announced a rise of about 500 yuan / ton With the resumption of production in Guangxi, Jiangxi, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui and other regions, the shortage of spot goods in the market may be alleviated Since the Spring Festival, the downstream comprehensive construction of titanium dioxide has been significantly improved, and the number of orders signed by the shippers has also been increased The key pain point of the actual delivery and investment market is still at the logistics end Raw and auxiliary materials cannot be imported and finished products cannot be shipped out Affected by the epidemic situation, titanium dioxide raw materials and products could not be transported in place in time due to transportation difficulties, which led to the shortage of stock enterprises or domestic trade oriented enterprises or the reduction and shutdown of production due to the shortage of raw materials and cost inventory pressure years ago The operating rate was only maintained at about 70% lower than that of the same period last year However, with the epidemic gradually under control, logistics around the country began to recover gradually, and the rate of enterprises returning to work and production will be further improved, indicating that the market can be expected in March Since February, when the market started to improve, titanium dioxide enterprises have been declared rising With the downstream customers returning to work one after another, the titanium dioxide procurement tide has gradually started, and titanium dioxide enterprises have also started a new wave of price rising tide On February 11, longmang Bailian announced that the 108 brand increased by 800 yuan / ton, and other sulfuric acid brands increased by 500 yuan / ton Venator, the third largest overseas titanium dioxide company, announced that its global titanium dioxide price rose, with the Asia Pacific region up $120 / ton Then on February 25, CNNC Huayuan titanium dioxide decided to increase the sales price of various brands of titanium dioxide from February 26 by 500 yuan / ton for domestic and international customers, and by 100 yuan / ton for international customers On February 26, Shandong Jinhai Titanium Industry issued a price increase notice, and from now on, domestic and foreign customers increased by 500 yuan / ton and 80 yuan / ton respectively On February 27, haifengxin Chemical Co., Ltd of Panzhihua City issued a price adjustment letter, saying that the cost of titanium dioxide manufacturing rose sharply due to the rising price of raw materials, and decided to increase the price of rutile series titanium dioxide produced by the company by 500 yuan / ton on the basis of the existing price from now on On the same day, Panzhihua titanium technology decided to increase the domestic trade prices of rutile and anatase titanium dioxide by 500 yuan / ton and the foreign trade prices by 100 yuan / ton respectively On February 28, Yunnan Dahong and Kunming Donghao titanium announced that the sales of rutile series and anatase series products by the company were increased by 500 yuan / ton and the export prices by 80 dollars / ton simultaneously In February On March 29, four titanium dioxide enterprises, Shandong Dongjia group, Yumen Jingyang titanium dioxide, Guangxi Detian chemical and Qianjiang Fangyuan titanium dioxide, issued a notice to adjust the price of titanium dioxide Dongjia decided to increase the domestic sales price by 500 yuan / ton and the foreign sales price by 80 yuan / ton since March 1 Jingyang company and Detian Chemical Co., Ltd raised the factory sales price of anatase titanium dioxide by 500 yuan / ton on March 1 From March 3, the prices of rutile and anatase titanium were increased by 500 yuan / ton, and the export price was increased by 80 yuan / ton On March 1, Zhengyuan technology of Panzhihua City decided to increase the price of the company's anatase titanium dioxide by 500 yuan / ton from March 2 Up to now, 13 titanium dioxide producers across the country have announced the price increase The industry generally believes that this round of price rise is not sudden The main reason is that the price of raw titanium concentrate is low and the price is high Some producers set a high price for the goods, but there is no vehicle transportation, which affects the operating rate What's more, they can't buy raw materials with money The export market of logistics transportation recovery will continue to increase in late February, and the whole country will enter the peak of resumption and return Titanium dioxide manufacturers and dealers gradually submit applications to start the resumption process The overall operating rate is not high, mainly due to the poor logistics transportation, the shortage of raw and auxiliary materials, and the manufacturers have to reduce the operating rate or stop production At the same time, logistics is also affected at the sales side Although it is recovering and freeway is free, it is still difficult to deliver goods, which leads to a sharp increase in inventory pressure of individual manufacturers After the epidemic, in terms of the domestic market, the demand will definitely be an explosive recovery The current spot shortage or instantaneous aggravation makes the price rise no longer a matter of course At this time, higher requirements are put forward for the supply of raw and auxiliary materials at the production end, the start-up production of devices, and the smooth and stable transportation of logistics It is believed that the strength of the people of China and the world will soon wipe out the epidemic and a large-scale supply campaign will begin According to Yan Tiyun's understanding, what needs to be solved is to restart the logistics transportation The epidemic situation is at the forefront Due to the regional isolation, there are fewer carriers who can return to the front line and work At present, East China and other regions are opening up one after another, while most of the special line logistics can't be distributed Especially in Hubei Province, long-term shutdown preparation is needed At present, some comprehensive warehousing and logistics bases in East China have resumed work, and there has been a centralized outbreak of pick-up and unloading of vehicle transportation The industry forecasts that this kind of centralized and explosive transportation will last for about two weeks Shanghai YANTI Industry Co., Ltd said that the company has a number of transport vehicles, at this stage can guarantee the logistics delivery of some end markets Affected by the epidemic situation, due to the limited transportation in some ports, the export orders of titanium dioxide are not delivered smoothly Some international customers use goods preparation, some bitter goods delivery, and some choose international brands as temporary substitutes However, the main producers of titanium dioxide in China still do not have poor foreign trade In February, the total export volume reached a new high, playing a role of stabilizing the military at the export end With the recovery of port logistics, the export market in 2020 will continue to maintain a high-speed growth trend.
