according to the titanium dioxide industry association

to incomplete statistics, in 2016 the total sales of about 2 million 478 thousand and 500

tons. The existing production capacity of 3 million 591 thousand tons; statistics last

2014 in the construction of 925 thousand tons of the 1 million 230 thousand tons. The

actual period in 2015 has been the construction of part of the production capacity under

construction.

Recently, Yunnan Zechang resumed production capacity of 60 thousand tons, 100 thousand

tons of Gansu Dongfang titanium products in early construction, no substantial new

projects launched, Yunnan Chang Ze, Gansu orient titanium industry is the original

production capacity is not restored, the new production capacity.

It is understood that at present, China’s titanium dioxide production capacity existing

in less than 3 million 200 thousand tons, in the existing production capacity in 2016 for

overhaul, environmental protection and other factors, the actual total production was

2597212 tons, compared with 2323012 tons in 2015 increased 274199 tons, an increase of

11.8%, a record high.
We can see from the above data, the supply side reform to capacity in the past two years has achieved initial success, the existing production capacity has lagged behind nearly 400 thousand tons of all discontinued or closed, in 2016 the total output of 2 million 597 thousand and 212 tons and the total sales of 2 million 478 thousand and 500 tons of relative balance, market tight supply is due to low inventory.

In 2015 the global titanium dioxide Market in general oversupply of the market situation, the low price makes many producers are not enough to obtain adequate return, some manufacturers take part, reduce the production factories shut down in response to the weakness in the market, it is in the global titanium dioxide industry by reducing the rate of production and inventory to match the market environment.
