Titanium Market Price Analysis: Domestic, Imported, and Processed Product Trends (2025)

The global titanium market price remains in flux due to shifting supply-demand dynamics, operational slowdowns, and pricing pressure across multiple product segments. In this article, we analyze current titanium ore prices, import costs, e processed titanium products (including titanium slag, titanium tetrachloride, titanium dioxide, e sponge titanium), com real-time price comparisons in USD and EUR to serve international investors and buyers.

1. Domestic Titanium Ore Prices (China)

🧾 Current Prices

46-10 titanium ore: ¥2160–2180/ton → ~$297–300 / €274–277
47-20 titanium ore: ¥2300–2350/ton → ~$316–323 / €291–298
38 grade titanium intermediate ore (excl. VAT): ¥1550–1600/ton → ~$213–220 / €197–204

💡 Observação: Exchange rate used — 1 CNY = 0.138 USD ≈ 0.128 EUR

Titanium Market Price Trends

Despite weak downstream demand and low plant utilization rates, signs of recovery are emerging. Some Chinese producers are reducing operations (notably in Yunnan and Chengde), while large buyers are stockpiling low-priced intermediate-grade ores. The tightening domestic supply, especially in the Panzhihua-Xichang region, hints at a potential price stabilization or rebound in the short term.

2. Imported Titanium Ore Prices

🌍 Current CIF Prices

Mozambique: $370/ton → ~€341
Nigeria (47-49 grade): $360/ton → ~€332

📊 Price Trends

The competitiveness of imported titanium ore is under pressure due to:

High international mining costs
Domestic price undercuts from Chinese suppliers
Downstream cost-cutting behavior

While demand for high-grade ore remains globally strong, Chinese buyers are cautious. Some local suppliers have already shown minor price concessions amid slow-moving new orders.

3. Titanium Slag Market

🔩 High Titanium Slag

Market remains depressed.
No active tenders from major northern Chinese buyers.
Current market price: Low and under pressure, despite high input costs.

🧪 Acid Slag

Very limited market circulation.
Primary reason: Weak titanium dioxide (TiO₂) prices.
Producers lack incentive to operate, resulting in stable but weak price performance.

4. Titanium Tetrachloride (TiCl₄)

💰 Current Market Price

¥5900–6500/ton → ~$811–893 / €748–824

📉 Market Trend

Prices continue to slide due to:

Excessive supply
Weak demand from downstream sectors
Raw material price declines

Although production costs have slightly decreased, oversupply and tepid buying interest keep the market under downward pressure.

5. Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂)

🧾 Market Status

Raw material costs are stable.
Sales are inconsistent with “price-by-negotiation” deals.
Weak global demand e Indian anti-dumping policies hinder both domestic and export sales.

📊 Price Outlook

Given sluggish demand and rising operational costs, titanium dioxide prices are expected to remain weak and volatile in the near term.

6. Sponge Titanium

🧪 Market Price

Priced at a premium due to tight high-quality supply.
Some high-end orders are supporting prices.

⚖️ Market Dynamics

While high prices suppress downstream purchasing, limited inventory and steady high-end demand are keeping prices elevated, albeit with sluggish trading volume.

🔮 Titanium Market Forecast

Produto	Trend Direction	Key Drivers
Titanium Ore	📈 Stable to rising	Shrinking domestic supply, steady demand
Titanium Dioxide	📉 Weak to stable	Low demand, anti-dumping impacts, cost pressure
Sponge Titanium	📈 Firm	High-end demand, tight supply, high cost

💡 Conclusion

In 2025, the titanium supply chain faces mixed conditions: upstream supply tightening for ore, weak downstream demand for pigment and intermediates, and cost-driven resilience for high-purity materials. Buyers and investors should closely monitor inventory shifts, policy changes, e global demand fluctuations, especially as currency fluctuations also impact import-export competitiveness.
