The total amount of rutile (including sulfuric acid process full-process crude products, finished products, and chloride process products) and anatase titanium dioxide and other related products produced by these 42 enterprises reached 4.766 million tons, an increase of 606,000 tons over the previous year, an increase of 14.57%.

European coatings industry under the anti-dumping storm of titanium dioxide

The imposition of anti-dumping duties on titanium dioxide imports from China is both an opportunity and a risk for the European paints and coatings industry. While the intention behind these measures is to protect local producers, the wider economic and environmental impacts must be carefully considered. A sudden increase in titanium dioxide prices could lead to higher costs, reduced competitiveness and job losses in the European coatings industry. A gradual implementation of tariffs, supported by investments in local production and innovation, would provide a more balanced solution, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the industry while maintaining the EU's competition and environmental objectives.

Titanium Dioxide Prices to Stabilize and Flexibly Adjust After the "Golden Week" of the Coating Exhibition (12.2-12.6)

As December 2024 approaches its end, the mainstream titanium dioxide (TiO2) market remains in a state of weak stability. This week is also known as the "Golden Week" for the coatings industry, with the exhibition centered around the coatings industry and bringing together the entire upstream and downstream industrial chain. Different producers have adopted varying market strategies. Some have adjusted their prices in advance to seize the initiative and secure orders at the exhibition; others are focused on understanding the situation and waiting to make price decisions after the exhibition, which is the majority approach; a few have adjusted their prices at the exhibition to intercept orders and intentionally spread the news to influence other users to place orders with them. The situations of various producers differ, as do the extents of their price adjustments.
