China Titanium Dioxide Market Overview – March
During the first ten days of the month, the market remained largely stable.
By mid-March, rising sulfuric acid prices and persistently high titanium concentrate prices placed cost pressures on producers, prompting suppliers to adjust their titanium dioxide quotations toward the higher end of the price range.
In late March, several TiO₂ producers issued price increase letters, marking the third round of price hikes in 2024. However, downstream demand fell short of expectations, and market acceptance of the new price levels remained limited.
By the end of March, domestic prices for sulfuric acid-process rutile TiO₂ were mostly quoted in the range of RMB 15,000–16,200 per metric ton.
