Titanium dioxide into the adjustment period pressure and opportunity coexist

Titanium dioxide has become a hot topic in China's paint market in recent years. Whether it is the skyrocketing period of rising prices, or the decline in the downturn, it has become a “star” in the raw material coating market. Today, the titanium dioxide industry has also reached an important critical period. Both the production capacity, price, and technology of the company need to make adjustments corresponding to the market during this critical period.

Nowadays, no matter if the production scale or actual output of titanium dioxide is very rapid in China, it has become one of the most important forces in the world's titanium dioxide industry, and this growth momentum will continue. In 2010, the two-year-old titanium dioxide plants in China in 2011 were both upgrading the scale of the company and expanding production capacity. We hope to use the power of production capacity to determine the future. We cannot but deny that production capacity determines the size of a company in the market, but blind expansion ignores all potential important factors, such as technology, such as energy conservation and environmental protection, such as product quality.

According to the market report, in the next five years, the new production capacity of titanium dioxide in China's mainland will be about 2 million tons, including 400,000 tons of chlorination titanium dioxide, and the total production capacity in 2015 will reach about 4 million tons. At the National Titanium Dioxide Industry Annual Meeting held in November in 2011, Xie Xiangyun, chairman of the Titanium Dioxide Industry Branch of the China Coatings Industry Association, said that although production has increased significantly, domestic competitiveness has not improved. At present, China's titanium dioxide is in a new critical period in many aspects. Although the company's production capacity determines its ability to occupy the market, it will be the “big play” of the industry in the next five years by improving international competitiveness through various means.

As China's titanium dioxide production technology has been dominated by **Fatta titanium type titanium dioxide, in recent years through industrial upgrading gradually transformed into rutile titanium dioxide-based, rutile titanium dioxide production capacity in the market has exceeded 70%, and this The proportion is still rising, but overall, China's titanium dioxide products are still concentrated in the low-grade, high-end titanium dioxide is also mainly imported by large quantities, although China's titanium dioxide production companies have about 60 - 70 or so, but many are small The scale of the ** fatal titanium and rutile titanium dioxide-based, product quality has obvious advantages is mainly a few major leading titanium dioxide enterprises, single plant output of more than 100,000 tons only 3, showing more, small, miscellaneous, Scattered pattern.

Due to the rapid growth in demand for titanium dioxide in China in the past 10 years and the high profits, many companies have entered the market with outdated development. The problem of out-of-order development is more prominent. In addition, as of October 2011, only one production capacity of chlorinated titanium dioxide products is currently available in the country. About 30,000 tons, insignificant in the total 1.47 million tons, the next step is that four or five companies plan to develop the chlorination process titanium dioxide business, planning production capacity reached more than 600,000 tons, so this period is to change the product structure, improve our technology Level, the introduction of foreign advanced technology and digestion of the key period to undertake.
