the average capacity utilization rate of major enterprises in more than 90%, some even close to 100%. Reporters learned that the current concentration of China's titanium dioxide industry significantly improved, competitiveness has been enhanced, last year titanium dioxide exports achieved a year-on-year increase of 37.1%, to promote enterprise capacity utilization rate increased significantly. According to the latest statistics of the Titanium White Sub-center of the National Chemical Industry Productivity Promotion Center, the total output of titanium dioxide in 2014 was 2.435 million tons, and the national average capacity utilization rate was 79.58 percent, up 2.6 percentage points from the previous year. Excluding 11 small and medium-sized enterprises that have stopped production or stopped production from time to time for environmental reasons, the capacity utilization rate of major enterprises is more than 90%, and some are even close to 100%. At the same time, in 2014 the national titanium dioxide industry output value of about 35 billion yuan, an increase of about 6% over the previous year. Large backbone enterprises maintain a reasonable profit margin, small enterprises in a loss-making state. It is reported that after industrial integration and environmental protection mechanism, titanium dioxide industry concentration has been significantly improved. In 2014, the top 6 producers of titanium dioxide in China produced or exceeded 100,000 tons, of which the top-ranked Sichuan Longyu Titanium Group produced 295,000 tons. The combined output of the top 6 titanium dioxide producers reached 1.0492 million tons, accounting for 43.08 percent of the country's total output, up 4.72 percentage points from the previous year. The top 30 producers produced 2.195 million tonnes, accounting for 90.14 per cent of the country's total, up 2.94 percentage points from the previous year. Due to the improvement of environmental protection requirements, large-scale backbone enterprises due to environmental protection equipment supporting norms, "three waste" can meet the emission requirements, production and operation is more stable, high capacity utilization rate. And many small factories or inadequate environmental support manufacturers in the high-pressure environmental protection policy to stop production and semi-stop production, which also gives large-scale backbone enterprises to free up market space. Domestic titanium dioxide products to enhance competitiveness, rapid growth in export volume. According to the latest statistics of the General Administration of Customs, in 2014 the country's cumulative exports of titanium dioxide 552,500 tons, an increase of 149,000 tons over the previous year, an increase of 37%; The country imported 215.7 million tons of titanium dioxide, an increase of 219,000 tons, or 11.3%, over the previous year. It can be seen that the increase in exports is much larger than the increase in imports. Industry experts believe that the benefits of low oil prices brought about by lower raw material prices, and the end-consumer market demand has not shrunk, titanium dioxide main application areas

, plastic enterprises are better off, directly pulling the demand for titanium dioxide. At the same time, with the improvement of China's titanium dioxide production technology level, the global market has a new understanding of the quality of China's titanium dioxide products, titanium dioxide export growth has become an inevitable trend, irreversible.
