Anti-Thinking of the Titanium Dioxide Industry's Improvement in Foreign Markets

Recently, China's foreign market for titanium dioxide has shown a good state. According to statistics, the export of titanium dioxide in China was only 380,000 tons in 2011. By 2016, the annual export volume of titanium dioxide in China has reached more than 720,000 tons, an increase of 360,000 tons. Ton, an increase of 95%. As of May this year, China's total exports of titanium dioxide reached 72,800 tons, an increase of 12.21% from the previous month and an increase of 2.16% from the same period of last year. From January to May, the total import volume reached 317,800 tons, an increase of 11.67% over the same period of last year.

The export products are basically low-end titanium dioxide, and high-end products still need to be imported. From the perspective of the overall export volume of titanium dioxide in the foreign market is indeed good, but throughout the domestic market, the price of titanium dioxide has been rising from last year to now, many domestic titanium dioxide companies prefer to export low inventory processing inventory, are not willing to cut prices. At present, titanium dioxide is mainly exported to India and other Southeast Asian countries. The export products belong to low-end products. However, domestic high-end titanium dioxide products, such as high-end titanium dioxide for lithium titanate batteries, still need to be imported.

The limitations of the domestic titanium dioxide industry are increasingly evident. The gap between China and international giants in terms of technology, product quality, etc. is very large. Although China is a major producer and exporter, the manufacture of high-end downstream products still requires the import of a large amount of titanium dioxide every year. In the international market, we are often at a low price. The embarrassing situation.

Product upgrading is the key to improving quality. In the current environment of supply-side reform and environmental supervision, titanium dioxide enterprises should seize the opportunity to seek technology that is suitable for the industry's energy-saving, emission-reducing, circular economy and environmentally friendly cleaner production. With the help of environmental protection, enterprises should be forced to promote product upgrades and upgrades. product quality. However, the disposal of the three wastes requires huge investments. Enterprises must pay close attention to product quality and one-handed environmental protection. If there is no strong economic strength, this road will become increasingly difficult.
