China's titanium dioxide exports reached approximately 171,800 tons in December 2025

According to customs data, my country exported 171,800 tons of titanium dioxide in December 2025, representing a year-on-year increase of 8.49% and a month-on-month increase of 12.88%. Of this, 127,700 tons were exported via the sulfuric acid process, a month-on-month increase of 8.49%; and 44,200 tons were exported via the chloride process, a month-on-month increase of 27.83%.

TiO₂ 2026 Opens Higher, Creating a Short-Term Buying Window

The main driver remains raw material costs. Sulfur and sulfuric acid prices stay high. In some regions, particularly in Southwest China, producers struggle to secure a sufficient supply. Several plants are running at lower rates or have stopped production. As a result, raw material costs are unlikely to decrease in the short term. Policy measures aim to stabilize the supply of sulfur and sulfuric acid. However, these measures take time to show results. Cost pressure continues to support TiO₂ prices.

In November 2025, China imported approximately 511,400 tons of titanium ore, a month-on-month increase of 39.12%

According to customs data statistics, China imported approximately 511,400 tons of titanium ore in November 2025, a year-on-year increase of 7.59% and a month-on-month increase of 39.12%. The top three import countries were Mozambique (252,100 tons), Australia (98,000 tons), and Nigeria (52,000 tons), accounting for 48.35%,18.80%, and 9.96% of the total imports in November, respectively.

China's Titanium Dioxide Exports Reached Approximately 152,200 Tons in November 2025, Up 3.97% Month-on-Month

Titanium Dioxide Export Data According to customs statistics, China’s titanium dioxide exports in November 2025 totaled 152,200 tons, representing a year-on-year increase of 1.96% and a month-on-month increase of 3.97%. Among these, sulfate-process titanium dioxide exports amounted to 117,700 tons, up 3.09% month-on-month, while chloride-process titanium dioxide exports reached 34,500 tons, reflecting a month-on-month growth of 7.09%. From January to November 2025, cumulative titanium dioxide exports reached approximately 1.6451 million tons, a decrease of 5.63% year-on-year, equivalent to a reduction of about 98,200 tons. During this period, chloride-process titanium dioxide exports totaled 322,300 tons, up 1.29% year-on-year, while sulfate-process titanium dioxide exports amounted to 1.3228 million tons, down 7.18% year-on-year.

TiO2 Market Outlook: Cost Relief in Sight, Price Upside Remains

By mid-December, the titanium dioxide (TiO₂) market had entered a phase of relative stability. However, production costs remain elevated as key raw materials—sulfur and sulfuric acid—continue to trade at high levels. As a result, most producers remain under significant cost pressure, and expectations for price increases persist, leaving room for further upside.

Energy production in November 2025

In November, the production of raw coal by industrial enterprises above designated size remained stable, the growth rate of crude oil production accelerated, natural gas production grew steadily, and electricity production maintained growth.

The manufacturing purchasing managers' index rose slightly in November, while the non-manufacturing business activity index declined.

On November 30, 2025, the Service Industry Survey Center of the National Bureau of Statistics and the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing released the China Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI). Huo Lihui, Chief Statistician of the Service Industry Survey Center of the National Bureau of Statistics, provided an interpretation.
