Titanium dioxide industry is entering the era of low profit

The price of raw materials for titanium dioxide upstream this year has risen in different ranges, the profit margin of the industry has been further squeezed, and the export tax rebate policy has been cancelled. The titanium dioxide industry is entering the era of low profit. This is the information that the reporter obtained from the 2007 national titanium dioxide industry conference held in Panzhihua at the end of November.

Since the beginning of this year, raw materials and energy prices such as titanium ore, sulfuric acid, coal, and diesel have all increased. The ilmenite has reached 1,500 to 1,700 yuan (t price, the same below), an increase of 300 yuan; sulfuric acid rose to 800 to 1200 yuan, Shandong Shouguang region has risen to 1500 to 1600 yuan, 700 to 800 yuan higher than last year The highest increase reached more than 1,000 yuan.

Titanium is one of the main raw materials used in the production of titanium dioxide. Sulfuric acid titanium dioxide used titanium ore and acid-soluble titanium slag (TiO2 content of 78% to 82%) two categories. Titanium concentrate is currently the main titanium raw material consumed by domestic titanium dioxide industry. In 2006, the demand reached 2.1 million to 2.2 million tons (45% to 47% grade), of which the imported material with 48% to 50% grade is 70. Ten thousand tons. It is estimated that the total amount of titanium concentrates consumed by the titanium white industry in 2007 will reach 2.2 million to 2.4 million tons. In recent years, the titanium ore supply and demand relationship in China has been seriously out of balance, and the market price of ordinary titanium concentrates has been deformed. On the one hand, the quality of the titanium concentrates is low, while on the other hand prices have risen. This has increased from a few hundred dollars in previous years to this year. The highest level of 1,500 to 1,700 yuan in six months. Even so, some titanium dioxide production enterprises still face the dilemma of being unable to supply titanium or forced production or short-term shutdown.

This situation has forced many titanium dioxide production companies to target the international titanium ore market, and in addition to Australia, they have also sought the resources of Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia in many channels, and have achieved significant results. The amount of titanium ore imported nationwide rose sharply from month to month. From January to September, the total import volume of titanium concentrate in the country was 889,500 tons, which was equivalent to 126% of the total import volume in the previous year. It is estimated that a total of 110 titanium concentrates will be imported throughout the year. 10,000 to 1.2 million tons. The sharp increase in the quantity of imported titanium ore has greatly eased the tension in supply and demand in the first half of the year, and has also improved the quality of titanium raw materials in general. In the second half of the year, the supply of titanium dioxide in the titanium dioxide industry has become normal and the price is stable. However, it remains in the range of RMB 1400 to RMB 1,700. It is expected that the price adjustment will not be significant in the coming period and will continue to operate at high prices.

Last year, domestic consumption of acid-soluble titanium slag was about 100,000 tons, with an average price of 3,000 yuan. Recently, due to the increase in environmental pressure, more titanium dioxide companies have changed their raw material routes and switched to or used titanium slag. This year, titanium slag demand is expected to exceed 150,000 tons. The current domestic titanium slag price has basically been in line with international standards, and is approximately 3,200-3,400 yuan.

Sulfuric acid is another major raw material in China's titanium dioxide industry. With the improvement of the level of clean production, the raw materials for sulfuric acid production in China have changed significantly, and sulfur has become the main body. However, China's sulfur resources are scarce, relying on imports from abroad. Since last year, the international sulfur market price has continuously increased, resulting in domestic sulfuric acid production has been carried out at high raw material prices. The fertilizer industry is the largest consumer of sulfuric acid, with consumption accounting for more than half of the total output of sulfuric acid. The rapid development of the fertilizer industry has formed a strong support for the price of sulfuric acid. According to the recent trend of the international sulfur market and domestic sulfuric acid upstream and downstream product chains, industry experts predict that the overall price of sulfuric acid will remain high until the end of this year, and even if there is a fall in local regions and time periods, it will not be too large.

In general, due to the continuous rise in raw material prices and the increase in environmental protection investment, the increase in production costs has made the loss of anatase products a foregone conclusion. The production of rutile products will only have marginal benefits. The price of titanium dioxide raw materials will remain high throughout the year. .
