Chinese TiO₂ Market Brief (Aug Mid‑Late)

China's TiO₂ market softened further in mid‑August. Low‑price producers are swamped with orders, leading to slow deliveries and some temporary order suspensions.

Cost‑side downward momentum is fading: titanium ore and sulfuric acid prices have eased, but sulfur and sulfuric acid prices have now levelled off, leaving limited room for further price cuts.

Fundamentals remain supply‑heavy, yet August underlying demand is slightly improved. Market bearish sentiment is easing. The market will stay weak short‑term, while downside risks are diminishing. Attention is focused on major producers' new price guidance at end‑Aug / early‑Sep. The Sep‑Oct peak‑season restocking may lift market sentiment.

Note: Shipping space has tightened. Overseas buyers are suggested to place orders in advance. August could be the last low‑price window before peak‑season stocking. Contact us for grades and latest quotations.
