The investment heat in the titanium industry has intensified internal competition among production enterprises, leading to a week long domestic titani

This week, the domestic titanium material market remained stable, and the purchasing momentum of raw material sponge titanium slowed down, while demand remained stable. The new production capacity in the titanium material market has intensified the market's internal competition, mainly reflected in the upstream smelting and forging of material production, as well as the relatively concentrated field of rod and wire materials in private enterprises. For example, in the Baoji area alone, there are over 6 hydraulic forging machines with a capacity of over 40MN for titanium and titanium alloy forging that have already been put into operation and are about to be put into construction. The forging and processing costs have also been declining, with pure titanium processing costs decreasing by about 30% compared to previous years. However, in today's continuously increasing production costs, enterprise profits have significantly declined. In the field of titanium metal smelting, due to small investment and mature process technology, the investment heat has continued to rise in recent years. In the Baoji area alone, more than 40 units of VAR with a capacity of over 10 tons have been invested and constructed, and more than 6 types of EB furnaces have been built, with a smelting capacity of 100000 tons. The production of rod and wire materials has significant price differences among production enterprises due to different terminal demands and the use of different raw materials, making it difficult for downstream customers to choose. The intense industry competition is eroding the profits and survival space of enterprises, and has a negative impact on the healthy development of the industry.
This week, there have been varying degrees of changes in the titanium material market, as shown below:
Sponge titanium: Production enterprises have maintained stable production and prices, with a decrease in order volume. The transaction price of Grade 1 products remains around 51000 yuan/ton.
Titanium ingots: The market competition among smelting production enterprises is becoming increasingly fierce, and the prices of ingots remain stable, while the prices of residual ingots have rebounded.
Titanium slab: The price remains stable, and the price of pure titanium slab is basically maintained at 62000-63000/ton, with a production cycle of more than 30 days.
Titanium hot-rolled plate (coil): The price of titanium hot-rolled coil is stable, and the quotation remains at 82000 to 85000 yuan/ton; The competition for pure titanium hot-rolled plates is fierce, and the quotation remains around 80000 yuan per ton.
Titanium rod and wire: The quotation for pure titanium rod intermediate specification products is basically 120000 to 140000 yuan/ton, and the quotation for titanium alloy rod intermediate specification products is basically 180000 to 220000 yuan/ton. The price difference for titanium wire is significant, and the market is relatively chaotic.
Titanium pipes: The price of welded pipes has decreased, orders have remained stable, and some companies have adopted a low price strategy to attract customers, that is, using the price of titanium coils plus a small portion of processing fees, which has lowered the overall price of 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: Market prices remain stable with a decrease in orders.
It is expected that the market will experience a new round of fluctuations in the near future. Enterprises should closely monitor market changes and reports from Titanium Home, and respond flexibly to ensure a competitive advantage in the fiercely competitive industry.
