Final Rulings on Anti-Dumping Investigations Against China’s Titanium Dioxide

Since August 2023, five regions and countries — the Eurasian Economic Union, the European Commission, India, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia — have successively initiated anti-dumping investigations against Chinese titanium dioxide. With the support of the Ministry of Commerce and the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, the China National Coatings Industry Association organized domestic titanium dioxide producers nationwide to actively participate in the industry’s collective defense against injury claims. The final rulings for these five anti-dumping cases are reported as follows:

Titanium Dioxide Market Challenges and Growth Points

Under the dual challenges of global trade barriers and cost pressures, China's titanium dioxide export market is showing an "eastward expansion and westward retreat" pattern, with emerging markets becoming new growth poles. From January to July 2025, China's total titanium dioxide exports were approximately 1.0514 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 7.14%. Based on the trend of 134,800 tons exported in July, a month-on-month increase of 2.19%, the total export volume for the first eight months is estimated to be between 1.18 million and 1.2 million tons. The export pattern has shown significant changes: emerging markets such as India, Vietnam, and Turkey are growing rapidly, while the traditional EU market has shrunk significantly due to trade barriers.

Indian Court Lifts Anti-Dumping Duty on Titanium Dioxide

On September 22, 2025, the Indian titanium dioxide (TiO2) market received a significant update when the Calcutta High Court overturned the government's decision to impose anti-dumping duties on titanium dioxide imports from China. The case was brought by the Indian Paints Association, which represents nearly 90% of the country's coatings industry. They argued that many of the titanium dioxide grades under investigation, particularly rutile sulfate and certain high-performance types, are not produced in India. They argued that imposing duties on these grades would only increase manufacturers' costs without protecting domestic producers. The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) had earlier conducted an investigation and issued its final findings on February 12, 2025, recommending the imposition of anti-dumping duties. The government subsequently issued a notification imposing the duties on May 10, 2025. However, the court found serious procedural lapses: confidential information was admitted without a proper non-confidential summary, depriving interested parties of an opportunity to respond fairly. The court stated that this violated natural justice and the provisions of Indian tariff law.

China's titanium sponge trade pattern has reversed

As a cornerstone material for high-end manufacturing sectors such as aerospace and medical, the developments in the titanium sponge industry have consistently impacted the global supply chain. The latest industry data shows that China's titanium sponge industry has achieved remarkable growth over the past two years. Not only has its output remained the world's largest, but its import and export structure has also undergone a fundamental shift from net import to a sustained surplus, marking a significant improvement in the position of China's titanium industry in the global value chain.

Sodium Pyroantimonate: A High-Performance Alternative to Antimony Trioxide

Sodium pyroantimonate was primarily used in the glass industry and for cast iron enameling. In recent years, with advancements in science and technology, sodium pyroantimonate has partially replaced antimony trioxide in certain flame retardants and electronic products. Sodium pyroantimonate is a white powder available in granular and isometric crystalline forms. It exhibits high thermal stability and does not decompose at temperatures up to 1000°C. It is employed as a high-grade clarifying and decolorizing agent in glass production, as a flame retardant in plastics and textiles, as an opacifier in enamels and ceramics, and as an opaque coating in casting paints. Sodium pyroantimonate appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder, which is readily soluble in hot water, sparingly soluble in cold water, and insoluble in ethanol.

Analysis of Titanium Products Import and Export Data – July 2025

In July 2025, China imported approximately 7,307.17 metric tons of titanium dioxide, representing a year-on-year decrease of 19.60% but a month-on-month increase of 49.48%. From January to July 2025, cumulative titanium dioxide imports totaled around 47,000 metric tons, down 17.16% year-on-year, with a reduction of approximately 9,700 tons.
