Whether the titanium dioxide industry overcapacity

         Since 2011,the development of titanium white industry in our country entered the downturn,titanium dioxide falling prices,the prices are low status until now.It is understood that the current domestic rutile type titanium pigment factory prices continue in 13000 yuan/ton,sharp titanium type titanium pigment factory price for 12000 yuan/ton,individual titanium dioxide enterprise ex-factory price or even close to the cost price,a sharp fall in the number of titanium dioxide profit margins.In this background, some chain,companies and media have blamed the titanium pigment the cause of the decline in market prices on titanium dioxide excess capacity.Today we first cast titanium dioxide prices factors,titanium dioxide industry overcapacity problem do simple analysis.
         Analysis of titanium dioxide is overcapacity in our country,must have a thorough understanding of how titanium dioxide industry downstream market demand,this is the key to judge whether titanium white production capacity surplus.Titanium dioxide as a good paint products are widely used in coating industry and plastic industry,in addition to that,for nearly two years countries increase for pollution control,and in the cement enterprise to use the selective catalytic reduction of denitration (SCR) technology,denitration titanium dioxide as catalyst,by the use of large quantities of this is new to promote the development of titanium pigment enterprises in recent years.
         The largest use of titanium pigment coating industry
         Coating is the biggest user of titanium dioxide,titanium dioxide is a kind of pigment dosage in paint industry the most various titanium dioxide content in the coating (10~35%),60% of titanium dioxide products applied in coating industry.It is understood that in 2013 China's total coating production of about 13.03 million tons,if we calculated according to 25% of the usage amount of titanium white production used in coating industry in 2013 is about 3.2575 million tons,and according to the national chemical industry productivity promotion center of titanium dioxide sub-center statistics,in 2013 the national titanium white production reached 2.155 million tons,for the first time,2 million tons. And this still far less than 2.155 million tons of titanium pigment products needed in the process of coating production.
         Chain, the second biggest users of plastic industry
         Plastic industry is the second largest user of titanium pigment,it is the fastest growth in recent years,the average annual growth rate of 6%,the world more than 500 chain brand,more than 50 brand belongs to special plastic,plastic is a huge industry.Titanium dioxide in the application of plastic products,in addition to using its high covering power,high decoloring force and other pigment performance,it can also improve the plastic products of heat,light resistance,weather resistance,make the plastic products from UV light,improve the mechanical properties and performance of plastic products.Due to plastic products much thicker than the paint and ink coating,so it does not require too much pigment volume concentration,coupled with its high covering power,strong tinting strength,general usage is only 3%~5%.
         It is understood that the plastic products industry in our country in 2013 the total output of 61.88 million tons,year-on-year growth of 8% year-on-year.If calculated according to 3%~5% of titanium dioxide usage (median 4%),2013 plastic industry the use amount of titanium dioxide is about 2.47 million tons,this value is higher than that of titanium white production in China totaled 2.15 million tons in 2013.
         Titanium dioxide third denitration industry by the user
         Denitration areas for titanium pigment industry is a new market,is an untapped market.With China's growing environmental pressure,the cement enterprise denitration project will be a long game.And SCR is the mainstream of the denitration technology in China,domestic currently existing and proposed SCR flue gas denitration engineering accounted for about 95%,visible in the field of domestic flue gas denitration occupies the absolute dominance,it is for the development of titanium dioxide industry in China has created a new space for development.
         In SCR technology,the catalyst for the key raw material of nanometer titanium dioxide production,we have learned,per cubic meter of catalyst need to be out of stock quantity of about 0.5 tons of nanometer titanium dioxide,calculated by the above requirements,during the period of "twelfth five-year" demand for sold out of titanium dioxide is 80000 tons per year on average,during the period of "much starker choices-and graver consequences-in" demand will reach to 100000 tons per year on average.It is for the development of titanium white industry in our country a new market.
         Through the above analysis,the current demand for titanium dioxide market in China is about 6.5 million tons,and the current domestic titanium dioxide production for a total of 2.15 million tons is only 1/3 of the market demand.According to statistics,in 2013 total imports in November and December 19 tons,year-on-year increase of 29.02%;This enough to justify the titanium dioxide industry in China still has great market space,and far have not reached the situation of excess production capacity,so in the process of development in the future,titanium dioxide domestic enterprises to expand production capacity at the same time also need to transformation and upgrading,expand for the production of high-end products,gradually eliminate backward production capacity and high pollution of titanium white production line.
