Status, future and development of China’s titaniumdioxide industry in 2023

This paper summarized the operation data of China’s titanium dioxide industry in 2023, including production capacity, output, market apparent demand, capacity concentration and so on. The recent growth trend of titanium dioxide production capacity and the corresponding changes in the supply and demand relationship of titanium ore raw materials were also analyzed. The results indicate that the production capacity and yield of titanium dioxide in 2023 continue to maintain the growth trend, and the concentration of production capacity keeps further improved. Meanwhile, the scale of existing producers is further expanded, the increase of non-industry joining projects and the increase of titanium dioxide production capacity caused by the rise of new energy materials industry, which will exacerbate the contradiction between supply and demand of titanium ore. Market prospects and industry outlook maybe not optimistic, all parties should pay great attention and make timely adjustment. Suggestions are put forward for the sustainable and healthy development of titanium dioxide industry in the future, and call for explicit attention and active response to a new round of industrial policies introduced recently.
