The industry is optimistic about the titanium dioxide market in 2016

According to analysts, in the first half of 2015, the domestic titanium dioxide (rutile-type titanium dioxide) market experienced a trend of first decline and then rise.

According to Bi Sheng, director of the Titanium Dioxide Branch of the National Chemical Industry Productivity Promotion Center, since the first and second quarters of 2012, the titanium dioxide industry has gradually shown a sluggish market, market demand has shrunk, and prices have fallen.

The annual industry export volume exceeded 400,000 tons for the first time in history, reaching 403,000 tons, accounting for 18.

On the other hand, the domestic market is affected by the overall environment of the national economy.

The market in the first half of the year crawled in the ups and downs.

Tang Zhenning, an honorary expert of the National Titanium Dioxide Industry Expert Group, believes that the sluggish economy will continue for several years, and the whole industry must have long-term plans.

Bi Sheng introduced at the 2015 Council of the National Chemical Industry Productivity Promotion Center Titanium Dioxide Branch a few days ago that the current economic environment is not good, and the state of the titanium dioxide industry is no longer comparable to that of the booming era.

　　Bi Sheng said that it is foreseeable that the production capacity of the industry will continue to rise in the next 2 to 3 years.

　　People in the titanium dioxide industry are optimistic about the market next year.

　　In August of this year, Hassan Ahmed released a research report stating that the current inventories of global titanium dioxide producers are rapidly approaching normal levels, and customer inventories may have fallen below normal levels, which means that the time to rebuild inventories will soon come.

　　Zhou Xiangxin, director of the National Chemical Industry Productivity Promotion Center Titanium Dioxide Center, believes that 2015 is destined to be an extraordinary year in the development history of the titanium dioxide industry.

　　On the other hand, it is the promulgation and implementation of the most stringent new environmental protection law in history.

　　Under internal and external troubles, the titanium dioxide industry has reached a cold winter, and this year’s winter has come very early, and it will last a long time.
