According to statistics, in 2016, the total production capacity of titanium dioxide in China was 3.591 million tons, up 2.0% year-on-year; in 2017, the effective capacity of China's titanium dioxide industry was 3.55 million tons, and the operating rate reached 80.8%.
According to the statistics of the titanium dioxide whitening center of the National Chemical Industry Productivity Promotion Center for 42 full-process titanium dioxide production enterprises that can maintain normal production, the total production of titanium dioxide in 2015 was 2.323 million tons, compared with 243.5 in 2014. The 10,000 tons decreased by 112,000 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 4.6%. This is the first time in the country's titanium dioxide industry that the total output of the industry has declined in 17 years.
By 2016, statistics on the total-scale titanium dioxide production enterprises above 39, which can maintain normal production, showed that the total production of titanium dioxide in 39 companies was 2,597,200 tons, an increase of 11.8%, a record high.
Among them, the rutile type product is 1,961,100 tons, accounting for 75.8%; the anatase type is 474,700 tons, accounting for 18.3%; the non-pigment type is 153,400 tons, accounting for 5.7%. The total output of titanium dioxide of Longyu Lilian Group, which was jointly developed by Fuyang Longyan Titanium Industry and Henan Yuli Group, reached 584,400 tons, accounting for 22.7% of the country's total output, far ahead of the whole industry. The total output of four chlorinated titanium dioxide enterprises in the country was 105,400 tons, accounting for 4.1% of the total output of the whole industry. For the first time in history, it exceeded 100,000 tons, achieving a new breakthrough.
In 2017, the national titanium dioxide production was 2.865 million tons, an increase of 270,000 tons, an increase of 10.49%. Among them, the rutile type was 2,276,400 tons, the anatase type was 443,300 tons, and the non-pigment type was 149,800 tons.
At present, China has surpassed Europe and North America to become the world's largest consumption area of ​​titanium dioxide. In 2017, the apparent consumption of titanium dioxide in China was 2.255 million tons, an increase of 8.39%.
The three application areas of titanium dioxide are paint, plastic and specialty paper, which together account for 87.8% of the total. Based on the judgment of downstream demand, we estimate that the average growth rate of titanium dioxide consumption in coatings, plastics, and specialty papers in 2016-2021 is 7.5%, 5.2%, and 10.5%, respectively, and assumes that other downstream applications consume titanium dioxide. The ratio of total production to total production is maintained at 12%-15%. In addition, as the world titanium dioxide industry gradually shifts to China, China has begun to become an important supplier of titanium dioxide in the world. The export growth rate is expected to remain between 5% and 10% annually.
China Titanium Dioxide Industry Market Development Trend
In 2018, the new supply of titanium dioxide industry totaled 76,000 tons, and concentrated in the second half of the year, unable to meet the growth demand, the supply gap is 164,000 tons, still need domestic enterprises to increase the operating rate to meet, can accommodate the domestic enterprises to continue to increase the operating rate to 85.5%, considering that over 20% of domestic enterprises face greater environmental pressure, 85% of the operating rate is almost the limit. In 2019, the new supply of titanium dioxide industry totaled 226,000 tons, which is equivalent to the incremental demand.
More than 98% of titanium dioxide manufacturers in China use the sulfuric acid production process. Although the sulfuric acid process is mature, a large amount of three wastes will be produced in the production process, which pollutes the environment and is restricted by the state. Under the high environmental protection requirements, the sulfuric acid process manufacturers have to meet the increasing environmental protection requirements by changing the raw material structure, improving the process technology, and strengthening the three waste treatment.
The industry leader ä½°åˆ©è” effectively reduced the environmental protection cost through scale advantage and co-production technology. The single-ton environmental protection cost can be reduced to 800-900 yuan, while the environmental protection cost of SMEs is as high as 1200 yuan/ton. If the follow-up environmental protection policy continues to be high pressure and strictly enforced SMEs on the verge of loss will not be able to afford and will be forced to withdraw.
According to the research results of the Titanium White Center of the National Chemical Industry Productivity Promotion Center, 50,000 tons is the critical point of economic production scale of white powder. At present, there are 27 domestic manufacturers with a capacity of less than 50,000 tons and a total production capacity of less than 700,000 tons. Most of these companies have neither developed titanium resources nor supporting sulfuric acid resource allocations. These manufacturers will eventually opt out regardless of profitability or environmental protection costs.
Overall, in the future, under the guidance of national policies, China's titanium dioxide producers are expected to shrink to less than 30 within five years.
The development of domestic titanium dioxide industry began in the 1950s. After the initial period of the 1960s and 1970s, the sulfuric acid technology in the 1980s and 1990s became a long-term development. The domestic titanium dioxide industry entered a period of rapid development after the 21st century. . Especially in the past ten years, the process and technology based on the sulfuric acid method have been improved day by day, the single-line production capacity has been greatly improved, and the production capacity/yield has increased rapidly.
