Analysis review

In terms of cost:

In February, due to factors such as high prices at the cost side and rising electricity prices, several production companies raised the prices of titanium sponge. After the Spring Festival, the high titanium slag market started operating normally with sufficient inventory, but the high price of raw titanium ore put pressure on the production cost of high titanium slag; In addition, the shutdown of some slag plants had led to weak and stable market operation. In addition, the impact of imported titanium rich materials had led to weak operation of the high titanium slag market.

In terms of downstream demand:

After the Spring Festival, the market gradually recovered. The demand in the military industry market was stable, with a slight increase in demand for civilian products.

Market outlook

According to the prediction of titanium sponge analysts from SunSirs, the titanium sponge market will operate steadily in March due to factors such as the release of new market capacity, increased production, and high support for raw materials. More attention should be paid to market news guidelines.
