The price dropped by 7.79% during the year.
Review of the Titanium Dioxide Market Situation

Product Market Trends
From the perspective of market development in 2025, the overall market situation of titanium dioxide shows a trend of first rising and then falling. In the first quarter, the inventory of manufacturers was low, and the prices of upstream titanium concentrate and sulfuric acid rose, resulting in price increases. In the second quarter, the foreign trade market experienced a downturn, with an increase in on-site inventory and a gradual weakening of the market. In the third quarter, India cancelled its decision to impose anti-dumping duties on imported titanium dioxide from China in September, which is favorable for the recent titanium dioxide market, which is stable and rising. In the fourth quarter, the situation of new order transactions was poor, and the titanium dioxide market was sluggish.
In the first half of the year, the market for titanium dioxide first rose and then fell, resulting in an overall decline in prices. The cumulative decline from January to June was 5.23%. As of the end of June, the domestic quotation for sulfuric acid method gold red stone titanium dioxide is mostly between 13300-14200 yuan/ton; Sharp titanium type costs around 11700-12300 yuan/ton.
In the second half of the year, the supply and demand sides of the titanium dioxide market remained deadlocked and watched, with little fluctuation in market prices. Overall, prices slightly increased. The cumulative increase from July to December is 0.15%. As of the end of December, the domestic quotation for sulfuric acid method gold red stone titanium dioxide is mostly between 13300-14300 yuan/ton; The quotation for rutile titanium dioxide is around 12000-12500 yuan/ton.
Current situation of titanium dioxide in 2025 and expectations for 2026
Import and export aspects
According to customs data, the total import volume of titanium dioxide from January to November 2025 was only 67800 tons, a significant decrease of 19.88% year-on-year. Among them, chlorination products are still the main import force, with a cumulative import of 40800 tons from January to November, a year-on-year decrease of 27.49%, accounting for 60.2% of the total import volume. The import volume of sulfuric acid products is relatively small, with a cumulative import of 27000 tons from January to November, a slight decrease of 4.77% year-on-year.
The significant decline in the import volume of chlorination method indicates that in the high-end product field that relied on imports in the past, the investment of domestic chlorination method production capacity and technological progress are effectively filling the market gap.
According to customs data, from January to November 2025, the cumulative export volume of titanium dioxide in China was about 1.6451 million tons, a decrease of 5.63% compared to the same period last year, a decrease of about 98200 tons. Among them, the chloride process titanium dioxide performed well, with a cumulative export of 322300 tons from January to November, a year-on-year increase of 1.29%. Sulfuric acid titanium dioxide still dominates but performs weakly, with a cumulative export of 1.3228 million tons from January to November, a year-on-year decrease of 7.18%, accounting for 80.4% of the total export volume and still the absolute mainstay.
This export pattern of “total volume reduction and structural optimization” clearly indicates that China’s titanium dioxide industry is in a critical stage of transformation from “winning by quantity” to “breaking through by quality”.
In terms of production capacity and output

According to publicly available information, the titanium dioxide industry is undergoing a deep adjustment in 2025, with continuous expansion of production capacity. In 2025, China’s titanium dioxide production capacity will be 6.217 million tons, with a year-on-year growth rate of 3.62% compared to 2024. The main regions with increased production capacity are Inner Mongolia and Anhui; By 2025, the top three regions in China’s production capacity will have Sichuan accounting for 19%, Shandong accounting for 13%, and Henan accounting for 10%.
According to public information, in November 2025, China’s titanium dioxide production was 400400 tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.36%. The cumulative production of titanium dioxide from January to November 2025 was 4.3504 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 0.72%, and the production decreased by about 31500 tons.
International giants shut down and went bankrupt, Venator Germany. In September 2025, Venator Germany filed for bankruptcy. Its 50000 tons/year chlorination production capacity in Germany and the previously shut down 80000 tons/year production capacity in Italy led to a global supply contraction and the transfer of international orders to China.
In terms of downstream terminal real estate
From January to November 2025, the national real estate development investment was 7859.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 15.9%; Among them, residential investment was 6043.2 billion yuan, a decrease of 15.0%.
From January to November, the construction area of real estate development enterprises’ houses was 656066 million square meters, a year-on-year decrease of 9.6%. Among them, the construction area of residential buildings was 457.51 million square meters, a decrease of 10.0%. The newly started construction area of houses is 534.57 million square meters, a decrease of 20.5%. Among them, the newly started residential area was 391.89 million square meters, a decrease of 19.9%. The completed area of the house is 394.54 million square meters, a decrease of 18.0%. Among them, the completed residential area was 281.05 million square meters, a decrease of 20.1%.
Summary and prediction
In 2025, the Chinese titanium dioxide industry will face challenges such as overcapacity, international trade frictions, fluctuations in raw material prices, and environmental pressures. This year is also a key turning point for titanium dioxide to shift from scale expansion to high-quality development. The titanium dioxide industry is undergoing deep adjustments and upgrades driven by policies, markets, and technology.
Looking ahead to 2026, the titanium dioxide industry will present a new cycle of “policy driven, technology driven, and market driven”. The market size will shift from “quantity growth” to “quality improvement”, and the supply and demand pattern is expected to improve. The transformation towards high-end, green, and intelligent will accelerate.
1、 Policy driven: Green Transformation and Capacity Optimization
Environmental policies will continue to be strengthened to promote the industry’s transformation towards low-carbon and circular industries. For example, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment requires that new projects must adopt the chlorination process or the sulfuric acid process with a complete circular economy system, and specifies that by 2025, the industry’s energy efficiency benchmark level production capacity will reach 30%, and by 2030, the energy efficiency benchmark line will be fully achieved.

2、 Technology driven: breakthroughs in chlorination process and high-end products
With the increasingly strict environmental policies, chlorination method may become the main production trend in the future. As of 2025, the proportion of titanium dioxide production capacity produced by chlorination method in China has exceeded 35%, and it is expected to reach 60% by 2030. Nano scale titanium dioxide has achieved technological breakthroughs in the field of photocatalytic degradation of VOCs. Technological innovation has become the core driving force for the industry to transition from scale expansion to high-quality development.
3、 Market driven: Emerging demand and upgrading of export structure
The market center of gravity is further tilted inward: Against the backdrop of pressure on export volume and continuous reduction in imports, the importance of the domestic market is becoming increasingly prominent. Traditional fields such as coatings and plastics have stable demand, while emerging fields such as new energy and photovoltaics are growing rapidly. The usage of titanium dioxide in the field of new energy vehicles is increasing by 25% annually, and the demand for photovoltaic backsheet is increasing by 27% annually. Industry competition will focus more on domestic market share, service responsiveness, and product customization level. Enterprises need to deeply cultivate the domestic market while breaking through overseas markets with high-end products.
4、 Competitive Landscape: Structural Adjustment and Globalization Layout
The titanium dioxide industry has formed a “one super, many strong” pattern, with leading enterprises building a closed loop of the entire industry chain and small and medium-sized enterprises accelerating their exit. The demand growth in traditional fields is weak, and emerging fields have become new growth points. Market diversification accelerates overseas layout, and Longbai Group, as an industry leader, guarantees raw material supply through overseas mergers and acquisitions, long-term cooperative mining, and builds a global unified sales network. It is expected that the overall structure of the titanium dioxide industry will continue to adjust in the coming years to adapt to market changes and policy guidance.

Overall, the demand side has weak support for hydrogen fluoride, and it is expected that the hydrogen fluoride market will mainly operate weakly and steadily in the later stage.
Market forecast: The price of raw material fluorite remains stable, and the market price of sulfuric acid continues to operate at a high level. Cost pressures still exist, and coupled with the traditional off-season in the downstream, demand is weak, with rigid demand mainly being purchased. Overall, the downstream consumption capacity is insufficient. It is expected that the market for anhydrous hydrogen fluoride will mainly maintain stable operation in the later stage. More attention should be paid to changes in market supply and demand.

1、 Price trend

According to the monitoring of the commodity market analysis system of Shengyi Society, the market price of isopropanol has been falling all the way in November. On November 1st, the average price of isopropanol in China was 5675 yuan/ton, and on November 28th, the average price was 5433.33 yuan/ton, a decrease of 4.26% compared to the beginning of the month.
The market price of isopropanol fell in November. In the first half of the year, the trading atmosphere on the exchange was poor, and the downstream purchasing atmosphere was weak, with the focus of transactions shifting towards the low-end. The price of acetone, a raw material, has declined in the middle of the month, with average cost support and lack of confidence among traders, resulting in a downward shift in transaction focus. In the latter half of the month, the trading atmosphere on the exchange was light, with downstream demand dominating and intermediaries following the market trend, resulting in a narrow decline in the market. As of now, most of the isopropanol market prices in Shandong are around 5300-5500 yuan/ton; The majority of prices in the isopropanol market in Jiangsu are around 5350-5600 yuan/ton.
In terms of raw material acetone, the domestic acetone market fluctuated and fell in November. On November 1st, the average price of acetone was 4275 yuan/ton, and on November 28th, the average price was 4225 yuan/ton, with a price reduction of 1.17%. At present, the trading atmosphere on the market is average, and the mentality of holders is under pressure, resulting in fluctuating and declining offers.
In terms of raw material propylene, the domestic propylene market increased in November. On November 1st, the market average was 6058.25 yuan/ton, and on November 28th, the average price was 6180.75 yuan/ton, with a price increase of 2.02%. At present, the shipment of propylene production enterprises has slowed down, and buying is mostly wait-and-see. It is expected that the market will weaken and fluctuate.
3、 Future forecast
The isopropanol analyst from Business Society Chemical Branch believes that the isopropanol market price will decline in November. At present, the trading atmosphere in the isopropanol market is light, with primary demand and cautious observation. It is expected that in the short term, isopropanol will mainly fluctuate within a certain range, and more attention will be paid to the trend of the raw material market.

According to the monitoring of the commodity market analysis system of Shengyi Society, the 1 # tin ingot market in East China has risen this month (11.1-11.30), with an average market price of 284350 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month and 300610 yuan/ton at the end of the month, a monthly increase of 5.72%.

In November, tin prices showed an overall trend of strong volatility. After a brief period of fluctuation at the beginning of the month, the price opened a unilateral upward channel and gradually rose throughout the month.
On the raw material side, the resumption of production in the Wa State mining area of Myanmar is relatively slow, resulting in limited supply of imported ore; At the same time, Indonesia has strengthened its control over mineral exports, and its refined tin exports in October decreased by 53.89% compared to the same period last year, further exacerbating the tension on the raw material side. On a global scale, the supply growth of tin ore appears weak, while the main smelting regions in China have maintained a low overall operating rate due to insufficient ore supply and persistently low processing fees.
On the supply side, the operating rate of smelters in Yunnan, Jiangxi and other places has slightly increased compared to the previous period. However, due to limitations in raw material supply, the current output is still at a historically low level.
On the consumer side, traditional industries such as consumer electronics and home appliances still have sluggish orders, and downstream enterprises mostly purchase only according to their basic needs. The high prices of products further suppress the enthusiasm of downstream enterprises to receive goods. At the same time, the demand for emerging application fields such as AI servers, photovoltaic strips, and new energy vehicles is growing rapidly, and has become the main driving force for the tin market demand. However, at present, the driving force of these emerging fields on tin consumption is limited in scale and cannot fully offset the impact of the decline in demand in traditional fields. The overall demand is gradually recovering slowly.
On the inventory side, in November, there were signs of a rebound in global explicit inventory, with both domestic and foreign inventories showing a cumulative trend. Specifically, domestic social inventory increased by 1141 tons compared to last month, reaching a total of 7825 tons; Meanwhile, LME inventory also saw a slight increase, rebounding to 3160 tons. Overall, the global explicit inventory is about 11000 tons, an increase of 1500 tons compared to last month. Despite some growth, the current global explicit inventory remains at historically low levels, which provides some support for tin prices.
Overall, in November, tin prices showed a fluctuating upward trend due to supply constraints, demand structure adjustments, and macroeconomic policy support. However, the weak consumer market and continuous increase in inventory also suppressed the rise in tin prices to some extent. In the short term, it is expected that tin prices will continue to fluctuate.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, on November 24th, the ex factory price of cyclohexanone in Shandong Province, China was referenced to 6350 yuan/ton, which was basically the same as November 1st (cyclohexanone price reference 6200 yuan/ton).

From November to present, the cyclohexanone market in Shandong has been fluctuating with ups and downs
From the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, it can be seen that from November to present, the domestic cyclohexanone market in Shandong has been operating in a “first falling and then rising” pattern. Within the month, the cyclohexanone market fluctuated with ups and downs. On November 24th, the ex factory price of cyclohexanone in Shandong was around 6300-6400 yuan/ton.
Lack of favorable support for the downward trend in the cyclohexanone market in the first half of the year
In the first half of the month, the cyclohexanone market in Shandong experienced a downward trend, with slow transmission of supply and demand. The weak supply and demand situation made it difficult to provide effective support to the market. In the first half of the month, the cyclohexanone market lacked clear positive support, and the market continued to decline. The focus of on-site negotiations continued to fall. On November 15th, Shandong cyclohexanone fell to the lowest point of the month, with a reference ex factory price of 6200 yuan/ton, a 2.36% drop in the first half of the month.
Short term supply support, the center of gravity of cyclohexanone gradually rebounds in the latter half of the year
At the end of the month, the overall supply of cyclohexanone in the market decreased, and the pressure from the supply side of cyclohexanone was reduced. Factories and suppliers had a strong desire for price increases, and their willingness to lower prices was not strong. The cyclohexanone market in Shandong experienced a brief downturn, and the market center continued to rebound. However, downstream demand realization remained cautious, and it was difficult for the demand side to effectively transmit. Some manufacturers also narrowly lowered cyclohexanone prices, and the overall market returned to the level at the beginning of the month.
Market analysis in the future
At present, the trading atmosphere in the cyclohexanone market in Shandong is mild, and downstream purchases are mainly based on demand. The mentality of industry players is average. The cyclohexanone data analyst from Shengyi Society believes that in the short term, the cyclohexanone market in Shandong will mainly fluctuate, and more attention should be paid to changes in supply and demand.

The domestic acetone market is weak and declining, with no significant fluctuations in market fundamentals. Traders mainly focus on promoting shipments, while downstream demand follows suit, resulting in limited market activity consolidation. According to monitoring data from Shengyi Society, the acetone market in East China reported an average daily price of 4200 yuan/ton from November 14th to 4163 yuan/ton on November 21st, a decrease of 0.87%.
In terms of supply, the overall operating rate of domestic phenol ketone plants has increased, mainly due to the situation of Fuyu Petrochemical and Zhejiang Petrochemical Phase I phenol ketone plants, with an overall operating rate of 80%. From the perspective of the port, the cargo arrived at the port as planned to replenish, and the port inventory increased to 26000 tons. The market circulation of goods is relatively sufficient, and traders have a greater intention to ship. After a period of price increase in the first half of the week, the offer fell.
From the demand side, the market is still lower than Xiaoning, and terminal factories and traders are entering the market to replenish goods. There is an expectation of an increase in the operating rate of downstream bisphenol A plants, which will lead to an increase in demand for acetone; The operating loads of isopropanol, MMA, and MIBK have slightly changed, while the demand for acetone has not changed significantly. From a cost perspective, there has been a slight increase in both the supply and demand of raw material pure benzene, and the supply continues to be lower than demand. It is expected that the short-term price will strengthen and consolidate.
Business Society expects a slight increase in costs, but there is still pressure on the supply side, and the demand side remains flat. Under various game scenarios, the acetone market will adjust its range next week. If costs continue to rise, prices may experience a slight increase.

This week, the price of plasticizer DOP fluctuated and fell

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of November 14th, the DOP price was 6883.34 yuan/ton, a fluctuating decrease of 0.24% compared to the DOP price of 7025.83 yuan/ton on November 7th.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of October 31st, the average production price of ethyl acetate was 5436.67 yuan/ton, an increase of 46.67 yuan/ton compared to the beginning of the month price of 5390.00 yuan/ton, with an overall increase of 0.87%. The raw material market is weak, with insufficient cost support, downstream on-demand procurement, limited supply side benefits, and fluctuating prices of ethyl acetate.
Market analysis: This month, the overall market situation of ethyl acetate first rose and then fell. In the first half of the month, the price of ethyl acetate rose, mainly due to frequent fluctuations in equipment, tightening market supply, strong upward sentiment among industry players, and a strong upward trend in the ethyl acetate market; In the second half of the month, some maintenance equipment will be restored, and the positive factors will weaken. At the same time, the price of acetic acid on the raw material side will continue to fall, and the cost side will be bearish. The market for ethyl acetate will follow suit and decline.

According to the Commodity Market Analysis System of Shengyi Society, as of October 31st, the price of acetic acid was 2420.00 yuan/ton, a decrease of 8.33% compared to 2640.00 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month. The weak downward trend of acetic acid prices within the month, low downstream purchasing enthusiasm, accumulation of acetic acid inventory on the supply side, and weak market sentiment have had a negative impact on the ethyl acetate market.
Looking at the future, the current production of ethyl acetate is sufficient, and there is significant pressure on companies to ship. Downstream buyers are cautious in following up on the market, and demand support is limited. The raw material acetic acid market is weak, and cost support is weak. There is a lack of favorable market conditions, and it is expected that the ethyl acetate market will operate weakly next month. Specific attention should be paid to changes in supplier equipment and downstream follow-up situations.
