The consumption of titanium dioxide in a country in China's titanium dioxide industry is an important indicator of the level of social consumption. From 1990 to now, the output of titanium dioxide in China has increased by more than six times during more than ten years.
As the titanium dioxide industry has entered the international titanium dioxide market very early, the international market will directly affect the production of titanium dioxide in China. In 1998, in response to the Asian financial crisis, China adopted measures to increase investment, expand domestic demand and consumption, promote the development of the real estate industry and paint industry targeting urban residents, and stimulate the titanium dioxide industry. Titanium dioxide manufacturers have reached 61, with a total output of 480,000 tons. In recent years, the titanium dioxide industry in China has been making rapid progress. The scale of production has continued to increase, and the quality of economic operations has continued to increase, showing a thriving scene. The production of titanium dioxide increases at a rate of 6%-8% per year. By 2005, the production capacity of titanium dioxide in the country has exceeded 700,000 tons, and more than 20 enterprises have achieved a capacity of 10,000 tons. China's titanium dioxide industry has entered a mature period.
International Market Highlights "China Factor"
Titanium dioxide industry is a typical monopoly competition, scale management industry. In the 1990s, the international titanium dioxide industry was affected by factors such as overcapacity, weak demand, low selling prices, and high environmental protection investment. The development in North America and Western Europe slowed down, and the development regions were concentrated in the Asia Pacific region.
During this period, there have been several major changes in the titanium dioxide industry. Major manufacturers have invested or set up production lines in the Asia Pacific region; global mergers and reorganizations of the titanium dioxide industry have been surging, and a number of large companies have withdrawn from the titanium dioxide industry. The Chinese titanium dioxide industry takes the opportunity of mergers and reorganizations abroad to achieve leapfrog development and quickly capture the international market. "China factor" and "China price" have become hot topics in the global industry and problems that need to be addressed.
Against this background, domestic companies face an endless stream of anti-dumping investigations abroad. Many countries have adopted an attitude of encouragement and support for anti-dumping activities. The number of anti-dumping countries in China has increased year by year, of which India ranks first. Due to the subjectivity and arbitrariness of various countries in the determination of anti-dumping against China, and the imposition of high anti-dumping duties, domestic enterprises cannot afford it, and some enterprises are forced to withdraw from the international market.
Titanium Dioxide Industry Challenges and Challenges The foreign anti-dumping investigations on China's titanium dioxide products will directly affect the expansion of export scale and the development of foreign trade, and squeeze the survival space of Chinese enterprises in the international market. In the case of a sharp drop in exports, domestic companies have launched vicious competition in order to survive in the domestic market, making it difficult for some companies to continue. Therefore, domestic titanium dioxide enterprises should actively respond to anti-dumping, and only active response is the only way to keep the market.
In recent years, the titanium dioxide industry in China has been blindly expanding its production capacity. In 2006, its capacity increased by 28% over the previous year. If we add the implementation of the existing enterprise titanium dioxide renovation and expansion project, by the end of the “Eleventh Five-Year Planâ€, the total titanium dioxide production capacity in China will reach 1.5 million tons. At the same time, due to the excessive proportion of low-level and low-tech products, the expansion of advantageous production capacity has not been realized in an effective market, and high-pollution, high-consumption, and low-efficiency growth modes have become a serious problem for the development of China's titanium dioxide industry. During the “10th Five-Year Plan†period, DuPont and Astron established two large-scale titanium dioxide production plants in Shandong and Liaoning respectively. The initial scale is about 200,000 tons per year, and it is expected to be completed and put into operation in 2010. After the completion of these two large chlorination titanium dioxide production bases, they will mainly produce cutting-edge products, which will bring great impact to domestic enterprises.
At present, China's titanium dioxide industry is facing a crisis of weakened competitiveness. As the company's technological innovation capability directly determines the market's competitiveness, the competition with foreign large companies in the future is mainly technical competition. Therefore, the production enterprises must speed up the establishment and improvement of technological innovation systems for enterprises, continue to strengthen the technical development, increase investment in technology development funds, accelerate the development of technologies and leading products with independent intellectual property rights, and should actively explore the mode of technological innovation. The combination of production, education and research in various forms will attract scientific research institutions and universities and colleges to jointly tackle the key technical problems in titanium dioxide production and promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into practical productivity.
An anti-dumping report issued by the World Trade Organization in 2006 showed that by 2005, the number of "anti-dumping investigations" and "anti-dumping measures" suffered by China had become the world's number one for 11 consecutive years, and chemicals had become the hardest-hit areas for anti-dumping. In July 2006, South Korea imposed a three-year anti-dumping tariff on Chinese-produced titanium dioxide because China dumped titanium dioxide (ie, titanium dioxide) when it exported to South Korea, causing it to suffer losses. The same survey also came from India. Industry experts believe that the titanium dioxide industry is facing the impact of foreign anti-dumping investigations can not be ignored.
