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.

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.
