Titanium dioxide industry will maintain a 10% growth rate

Titanium dioxide is commonly known as titanium dioxide and belongs to inert pigments. It is considered to be the best white pigment in the world. Because of its stable chemical properties, high refractive index and ideal particle size distribution, its good hiding power and color strength are widely used in various fields such as: coatings, inks, plastics, rubber, paper Industry, ceramics and synthetic fibers, etc., and become irreplaceable pigment products in the industrial field.

Per capita consumption of titanium dioxide is an important indicator to measure the economic development level of a country, and it is also a powerful basis for measuring the market potential of the country. In countries where the global industrial economy is relatively developed, the demand for titanium dioxide is often relatively large, and China's titanium dioxide consumption level can only be considered as a lower standard. In recent years, the Chinese titanium dioxide market has been developing rapidly at a rapid rate. The active trading atmosphere in the titanium white market has also continued for more than 10 years. However, with the outbreak of the global financial crisis from 2008 to 2009, the titanium dioxide industry has been slow. Slowly to a weak state.

In 2009, the titanium dioxide industry was a special period. Regardless of the pigment application field or the non-pigment application field, due to the financial crisis, the demand for titanium dioxide faced downward pressure. At that time, many titanium dioxide companies had experienced difficulties such as reduced profits and financial difficulties. Nowadays, with the gradual arrival of economic warming, China's titanium dioxide consumer market has also begun to heat up. Many emerging markets have been highly efficient and consumption levels have gradually increased. It is understood that: In 2009, the total output of titanium dioxide in the country reached 1,046,600 tons, the highest record in history, accounting for 30% of the world's titanium dioxide market, as of June 2010 production capacity of 1.968 million tons / in the first half of 2010, production exceeded 67 Ten thousand tons, China has become the world's largest producer of titanium dioxide. It is estimated that by 2015, the total titanium dioxide production capacity in China will increase steeply to 3.4 million tons per year.

Although China has become a major producer of titanium dioxide, it is not a strong country. It is understood that as of June 2010, there were 63 titanium dioxide manufacturers in China, and there were also new industry interventions. According to analysis by industry insiders, with the continuous expansion of total titanium dioxide production capacity in China, the industry is also facing many unfavorable factors. Among them, the supply shortage of titanium ore has become the biggest bottleneck for the development of enterprises. Second, increasingly stringent policy requirements will also affect the development of the industry. In the future, the industry will surely eliminate part of the backward production capacity through the integration and market survival of the fittest.
