Since the opening year, the titanium dioxide market changed last year's volatility, showing a wave of rising prices. In this context, titanium dioxide market leader continues to extend and improve the industrial chain, improve the upstream raw materials market control capacity. This has become another new development in the titanium dioxide industry after horizontal integration, and
china
.
, according to business statistics, since 2019, the reference price of titanium dioxide market from the beginning of the year 15,950 yuan per ton all the way up, has now risen to 16,500 yuan per ton. Longyuli (13.950, 0.00, 0.00%) announced on February 13, the company's various models of titanium dioxide sales price on the basis of the original price of various types of domestic customers increased by 500 yuan / ton, the international types of customers increased by 100 dollars / ton. Since then, China Nuclear Titanium White (4.090, -0.08, -1.92%) and Jinpu Titanium (3.720, 0.04, 1.09%) have also issued price increases on the 14th and 16th, respectively, the price adjustment range is consistent with Longyuli.
in such a market situation, the domestic titanium white powder taps have been in the raw material control on the force. On February 26th, Long Yuli announced that it intends to invest 2 billion yuan in Pyeongxi to make full use of local titanium refined mineral resources and break the disadvantage of China's long-term dependence on imports of high-quality titanium chloride slag.
According to the announcement, on February 26th, Longyuli and the Yanbian County People's Government signed the Investment Agreement for the Innovation Project of 500,000 tons of titanium essential ore upgrade and conversion of titanium chloride slag, and will invest 2 billion yuan to build a new 500,000 tons of titanium refined ore upgrade and conversion of titanium chloride slag production line and supporting facilities, with an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons of titanium chloride slag for the production of titanium chloride and sponge titanium.
said the project will be conducive to further integration of the industrial chain, to achieve the company's development strategy objectives, improve the company's core competitiveness. It is reported that this project will greatly enhance the utilization value of titanium ore in Phang Cymal region, to meet the production of titanium chloride titanium chloride slag products, change China's long-term high-quality titanium chloride slag dependence on imports of adverse situation, enhance the international competitiveness of China's titanium industry; The scientific and technological progress of titanium industry, the improvement of titanium dioxide product quality and the upgrading of titanium white products, and the change of the industrial pattern of titanium white industry based on sulphuric acid method are of great significance for promoting the optimization and upgrading of titanium industry structure, promoting the sustained and healthy development of the industrial economy in Yanbian County and promoting the development of Plyssi National Strategic Resource Innovation and Development Pilot Zone.
's move upstream is more than that. Check the announcement, the current layout of the upstream titanium mine reached an annual output of about 800,000 tons of production capacity, can meet the enterprise more than 70% of the production of raw materials supply, greatly solve the problem of raw materials "neck". Benefiting from this, Longyuli achieved a net profit of RMB1.97 billion in the first three quarters of 2018, up 2.59% YoY. The company expects to achieve net profit of RMB2,252 million to RMB3 billion in 2018, up 10% to 20% YoY.
, not only vertical extension, horizontal mergers have become an important trend in the titanium dioxide industry. Previously, the Shanghai Stock Bureau of Information has counted that the number of domestic titanium dioxide enterprises in 2017 was 41, in 2018 reduced to 39. In 2018, the top 10 companies produced more than 2 million tons, with a concentration of nearly 70%.
can't be separated from the promotion of policy behind it. In 2014, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the Technical Policy for the Prevention and Control of Pollution in the Titanium Dioxide Industry, which clearly encourages the chlorination method, the co-production of sulfuric acid method to clean the titanium dioxide production process, and the elimination of the traditional sulfuric acid method heavy pollution production process. In 2015, the "Titanium White Powder Unit Energy Consumption Limit" stipulates the limits and access values for the production of titanium dioxide unit energy consumption. Driven by the policy, since 2012, the production capacity concentration of titanium dioxide enterprises has been increasing, and the increase in production concentration has become more obvious. With the tightening of environmental protection policy makes the domestic small and medium-sized production enterprises struggling, the domestic titanium dioxide industry will usher in a new round of integration tide.
