Market competition stimulates multiple innovative models, and the domestic titanium market in one week (March 25-29)

This week, the titanium market has remained relatively stable, but the competition in the material market has become increasingly fierce. Small and medium-sized production enterprises have extremely low profits, and their survival space is becoming increasingly compressed. As a high investment and high-yield industry, the titanium industry's equipment level determines its product level, and more capital inflows put small and medium-sized enterprises in a more unfavorable situation in the market. In order to cope with this development trend, peer enterprises forming a group to warm up has become one of the various innovative ways of cooperative and win-win development.
Recently, 10 private enterprise owners in Baoji jointly invested to establish a forging production enterprise, jointly investing in one 8000 ton and one 2500 ton hydraulic forging machine, and achieving a production capacity of 20000 tons of titanium forging. The project involves a total of 11 corporate entities, each of which is a medium-sized enterprise in Baoji. It involves multiple aspects of titanium material production and processing. After the project is put into operation, it can provide stable production supply for the investment group and reduce the cost of each enterprise's industrial chain; On the other hand, the social relationships of the investment group can also be utilized to bring more orders. In this cooperative relationship, each enterprise is a minority shareholder without a controlling enterprise, achieving equal cooperation and development based on their strengths, avoiding duplicate construction and malicious competition. The root cause of this development model comes from the internal competition of the titanium industry in recent years, and the industry urgently needs to improve its equipment level. In the past, private enterprises of Baoji Titanium have always insisted on relying on their own strength to operate and develop independently. In terms of improving equipment level, they have also fought alone, relying on their own strength over their equipment. In areas where the financing environment is not relaxed, the financing channels for private enterprises are not smooth, and it is not easy to grow and strengthen. Choosing to collaborate to establish new projects, explore new markets, and complete industrial transformation and upgrading is undoubtedly beneficial for the enterprise itself and even the development of the industrial chain. I hope this can stimulate more innovative models for private enterprises, break the curse of internal competition, and achieve high-quality development of the titanium industry.
This week, there have been varying degrees of changes in the titanium material market, as shown below:
Sponge titanium: The production cost is at a high level, the market is stable, and the price is firm. The first level product is priced at over 50000 yuan, and downstream demand is stable.
Titanium ingots: The prices of ingots remain stable, with pure titanium ingots priced at 58000 to 60000 yuan/ton and TC4 titanium alloy ingots priced at 60-63000 yuan/ton. Large smelters have stable orders and guaranteed production cycles.
EB casting billet: The price remains stable, with a pure titanium billet quoted at around 65000 yuan/ton.
Titanium slab: With reduced demand and stable prices, pure titanium slabs are priced at 62000 to 63000 yuan per ton, while titanium alloy slabs are priced at 68000 to 72000 yuan per ton.
Titanium hot-rolled plate (coil): The quotation for titanium hot-rolled coil is maintained at 82000 to 85000 yuan/ton; The competition for pure titanium hot-rolled plates is fierce, and there is a significant price difference among different qualities, with prices ranging from 72000 to 78000 yuan per ton.
Titanium rod wire: stable increase in orders and extended production cycle. The quotation for pure titanium rod intermediate specification products is generally between 120000 and 140000 yuan/ton, while the quotation for titanium alloy rod intermediate specification products is generally between 180000 and 220000 yuan/ton.
Titanium pipes: Stable prices and orders for welded pipes, increasing demand for large-diameter thick walled welded pipes; The price of seamless pipes is stable, and the quotation for intermediate specification products is basically 120000 to 130000 yuan/ton.
Titanium alloy: Orders have decreased, and some product prices have decreased.
It is expected that the market will experience a new round of fluctuations in the near future. Enterprises are requested to closely monitor market changes and reports from Titanium Home, and respond flexibly to ensure a competitive advantage in the fiercely competitive industry.
