我国钛白粉出口遭遇“三低”

Core Viewpoint - The export volume and average price of titanium dioxide from China have declined in the first half of the year due to anti-dumping policies from India and Brazil, combined with weak global demand, leading to a challenging market environment for Chinese exporters [1][2][3] Group 1: Export Performance - China's titanium dioxide exports have seen a continuous decline for three months on a month-on-month basis and four months on a year-on-year basis [1] - In the second quarter, exports to India dropped by 49% year-on-year, while exports to Brazil fell by 56% year-on-year due to the implementation of anti-dumping taxes [1] Group 2: Market Conditions - The global demand for titanium dioxide is weak, with cautious purchasing observed in Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia [2] - Economic recovery in Europe is sluggish, impacting paint demand and leading to reduced titanium dioxide purchases [2] - South American currency fluctuations and economic uncertainties have resulted in customers primarily placing small orders, exacerbated by the anti-dumping tax effects in Brazil [2] Group 3: Future Outlook - The industry expert suggests that the export volume of titanium dioxide from China will remain under pressure in the third quarter, with limited relief for domestic companies [3] - There is a recommendation for domestic titanium dioxide companies to explore non-restricted markets such as the Middle East and Africa, or to establish overseas production capacities to mitigate trade barriers [3]
