Recently, according to titanium micromedia information, domestic sponge titanium price, up by 1,000 yuan per ton. The country's recent tax reduction of 3 % is a good news, sponge titanium enterprises and the same "collective price increase", do you want to give yourself "icing on the cake"? It seems that sponge titanium prices will continue to rise in 2019, and the breakthrough of 70,000 yuan per ton is only the first target.
Why is the price of sponge titanium still rising? Looking at the market trend for several consecutive years, it was almost always the end of the previous year and the following year during the Spring Festival. The price of sponge titanium fell into a trough. From the end of March to the beginning of April, the price slowly picked up, and then the price began to slide again in September and October. However, from the end of 2018 to the beginning of 2019, there was a reverse attack on the sponge titanium market, and the price stabilized at 68,000 yuan/ton. Today, sponge titanium on the basis of the national tax reduction is good for companies, on the basis of 68,000 yuan / ton stable as Taishan prices rise again. Price rise, there must be a reason, market demand should be the push to adjust prices.
The new media of titanium micromedia, which pay attention to the development trend of China's titanium industry, analyzed, tracked and combed the reasons for the price increase of sponge titanium. On February 22nd, the titanium micromedia "Sponge Titanium Price" was published. On March 13th, the "2018 biggest winner black metal!" Will titanium be a winner in 2019? Many other research articles have objectively analyzed the development trend of the titanium industry.
Since 2018, why the sponge titanium zero-grade price stable "nail" in 68,000 yuan per ton, there is its "stable as Taishan" truth.
First, after the shuffling of prices from previous years, the number of sponge titanium entrepreneurs has gradually decreased, achieving the effect of relative capacity reduction and inventory reduction. Coupled with the continuation of environmental protection policies, the price of raw materials such as titanium tetrachloride is still relatively high, which has a certain stimulant effect on stabilizing the price of sponge titanium.
Second, in 2018, the number of profit makers in the downstream processing companies of sponge titanium increased, and the profit of Baoti SHARES increased significantly. Western Superconductor is not a thin profit. Even the titanium industry has not been a good result of civilian life products enterprises have a number of profits. The reporter interviewed Jinxi Titanium Industry, which produces titanium welded tubes, nearly doubled its sales revenue in 2018. It is reported that orders for 2019 are still full. This shows that the downstream application of titanium processing has been continuously expanding and its development momentum is good.
Third, in 2018, national statistics showed that, of the 41 major industrial industries, the total profits of 32 industries increased compared with the previous year, and the total profits of 9 industries decreased. In coal extraction and washing, oil and gas extraction, agro-food processing, textiles, petroleum, coal and other fuel processing, chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing, non-metal mineral products, ferrous metal smelting and pressing processing, general purpose equipment manufacturing, etc.. Profit growth was accompanied by a 9 per cent decline in non-ferrous metal smelting and compression processing. According to the reporter's analysis, the titanium industry is a strange phenomenon. Although Titanium is a small metal in non-ferrous metals, the number of titanium enterprises in profit in 2018 has increased. Although most of them are slightly profitable, this also fully shows that titanium applications are gradually improving. Out of the independent market that differs from the decline of non-ferrous metals.
Fourth, people often use copper and titanium for price comparison and substitution product comparison. Recently, there has been a sharp increase in both the inside and outside of the copper market. At present, the main 1904 contract of Shanghai Copper has reached a maximum of 49,790 yuan/ton, setting a new high since December 5, 2018, and the highest Sprint of Lun Copper has reached 6,349.5 U.S. dollars per ton. At present, Shanghai Copper has recovered the gap of the jump two months ago and its center of gravity has risen to a new shock zone. It can be seen that the titanium market should also have a boom. Even if there are price fluctuations in the future, it will inevitably be a small fluctuation. There will be no further ups and downs of 20 % to 30 % of the price(in fact, the current price of sponge titanium has risen by 50 % compared to the end of 2015. ~ 60 %).
The latest titanium movement: in March, the reporter interviewed some downstream titanium processing companies again, still order better than in previous years, this "order phenomenon" is the market's rigid demand, is also the cause of the price increase of sponge titanium. After environmental protection, the prices of raw materials such as titanium tetrachloride and magnesium ingots are still high, and magnesium ingots are still rising in the near future. The increase in raw materials continues to boost the price of sponge titanium. In addition, there is a phenomenon that needs to be concerned. Recently, a new technology successfully developed by Zhangjiagang Fengfa Machinery Co., Ltd. reported by titanium micromedia-the high-efficiency titanium welded tubes with internal teeth in external light will be crowded once they are mass-produced. A part of the high-efficiency tubes manufactured by certain metal materials, This is a huge potential demand for titanium rigidity.
According to the reporter's analysis, the future price trend of sponge titanium depends on "market rigid demand + raw material price fluctuation + application field widening + new technology trigger replacement". At present, the price of sponge titanium meets the above conditions, so this year's price exceeded 70,000 yuan is still a large probability event.
The above objective factors comprehensive analysis, titanium city landscape gas is good. But should also bear in mind, to the good scene gas degree needs titanium enterprise to cherish especially. If, as in the past, the full expansion of production, and even the discontinued enterprises are also "resurgent," that will be short-lived. The degree of scenery is hard-won, cherishing the degree of scenery depends on everyone, we all do a good job in the products to do fine, the enterprise survival and development road will go further.
