Titanium Dioxide

Titanium dioxide is a very important raw material in industrial production and is widely used in coatings, plastics, papermaking, printing inks, chemical fibers, rubber, cosmetics, ceramics, enamel, electronics, food and medicine. Coatings account for the largest proportion, accounting for about 60%. Among coating products, architectural coatings consume the most titanium dioxide, accounting for about 60% of coating usage. The lag period of the impact of real estate on the coating market is about 1 year. The booming real estate market in 2013 will cause the demand for titanium dioxide to peak in 2014.

Among coating products, architectural coatings consume the most titanium dioxide, followed by transportation equipment such as automobiles, ships, and railway vehicles. It can be seen that the consumption of architectural coatings directly affects the demand for titanium dioxide, and the consumption of architectural coatings is closely related to the real estate industry. According to relevant statistical data, the impact of the real estate industry on the architectural coatings market lags behind by about one year, and the development of the real estate industry can be used as a leading indicator of the demand for titanium dioxide. As an important indicator of my country's economic development, real estate directly affects the demand for related products in the industrial chain. In addition, the time interval from the signing of commercial housing sales to the completion of decoration in my country is about one year, so the pre-sale indicator of commercial housing can more accurately reflect the impact of the real estate industry on the demand for titanium dioxide in the market.
