Report on Global and China Titanium Dioxide Industry [2015-2018]

Dec., 31, 2015, Mumbai, India: Market Reports on China presents the report, on “Report on Global and China Titanium Dioxide Industry [2015-2018]”. Given overcapacity, weak downstream demand and increasingly stricter environmental protection requirements, Chinese titanium dioxide companies have been seeking breakthroughs in scale and technology.

Since 2014, the supply of Chinese titanium dioxide industry has continued to expand, despite no substantial recovery in demand. In 2015, the ongoing projects of enterprises indicate that new capacity somewhat trends down; and the full-year capacity is expected to be 3.584 million tons, an increase of about 4.1% over last year. "http://www.marketreportsonchina.com/industry-mfg-market-research-reports-14982/global-china-titanium-dioxide.html" When the capacity is jumping, Chinas consumption of titanium dioxide remains sluggish under the influence of the output slowdown of downstream industries and the decline in exports. From January to October of 2015, Chinas coating output escalated by 3.8% year on year to 13.946 million tons; China produced 61.192 million tons of plastic products, up 0.6% year on year.

DuPont, Huntsman and other international peers have successively lowered their titanium dioxide prices since 2015, which weakens Chinas price-performance superiority. As a result, Chinas titanium dioxide export volume dropped 5.25% YoY to 443,000 tons during the period from January to October of 2015.

Given overcapacity, weak downstream demand and increasingly stricter environmental protection requirements, Chinese titanium dioxide companies have been seeking breakthroughs in scale and technology. On the one hand, leading companies make use of their advantages in capital, cost, scale, technology, etc to seize more market shares and negotiation power through industrial consolidation; on the other hand, they develop chlorination-method titanium dioxide technology vigorously.

In October 2014, CNNC Hua Yuan Titanium...
