Titanium dioxide output in the first half of the year increased by 8% year-on-year

　　A reporter from Sinochem News Network recently learned from Tuduoduo's data management department that in the first half of this year, the production of China's titanium dioxide industry continued to maintain a stable trend
.
According to statistics, the national titanium dioxide production in June was 343,800 tons, a decrease of 1.
17% from the previous month and a year-on-year increase of 6.
76%; the cumulative production of titanium dioxide in the country from January to June was about 2.
0691 million tons, an increase of 8% year-on-year
.

　　According to Qi Yu, a titanium analyst at Tuduoduo's Data Management Department, domestic titanium dioxide production in June was basically the same as the previous month, and output in some areas increased or decreased
.
Among them, the production of titanium dioxide in Sichuan, Shandong and other places has maintained growth; the production of titanium dioxide in Guangxi, Hubei and other places has declined; the production of titanium dioxide in Shanghai, Hunan and other places is basically flat
.
Due to the downturn in the downstream market, the demand for titanium dioxide has decreased, and the market has been under great pressure, and the output in individual regions has declined slightly
.

　　The top three provinces in terms of titanium dioxide production in June were Sichuan, Henan, and Shandong, accounting for 22%, 15%, and 14% of the total output, respectively
.
In June, the output of titanium dioxide by sulfuric acid method and titanium dioxide by chloride method accounted for 85% and 15% respectively, of which the output of titanium dioxide by chloride method was 50,200 tons, an increase of 2% from the previous month
.

　　Qi Yu believes that the current titanium dioxide market is in the off-season, and the price in some areas has fallen by more than 1,000 yuan / ton
.
However, the terminal market is still sluggish, and titanium dioxide production enterprises are under great pressure
.
Affected by the sluggish market and high inventory levels, the number of titanium dioxide maintenance companies will also increase in July, and the monthly output is expected to decline slightly
.
However, with the recovery of downstream demand in the later period, the titanium dioxide market will improve, and the price is expected to rebound in the third quarter
