Titanium prices have risen sharply recently and are unstoppable
2023,08,06
It is reported that by the titanium sponge and other raw material costs, as well as the downstream aviation demand increase and other factors, titanium leading recently significantly raised product prices, and the range is as high as 10%. The industry said that this move may play a positive role in boosting the secondary market. Data, titanium sponge market demand is relatively strong in recent stages, the product slightly oversupply. Offer, 0 grade titanium sponge mainstream offer reached 70,000 yuan / ton, the cumulative increase of more than 4% in May. The industry said that the current titanium sponge market overall is good, basically no inventory pressure. At the same time, the recent environmental protection inspections in various regions of the country caused production costs to increase, analysts said that the price of titanium tetrachloride is expected to continue to rise. Another organization believes that the domestic Titanium Material in the low-end titanium material competition, high-end titanium material manufacturing capacity is seriously inadequate situation.
As we all know, the amount of titanium used in the global aerospace field is more than 50%, most of China's demand for titanium products from the chemical industry, accounting for 50%, high-end demand in the aerospace field only accounted for 15% or so, securities through the analysis that, with the mass production of the domestic aircraft C919, the upgrading of military aircraft, the demand for high-end titanium materials in the aerospace is expected to be released, in addition, China's consumption of high-end titanium material accounted for a significantly Lower than the global level, the future development of space is broad, high-quality titanium material subject is worth the market focus.
