There is still more than a month until 2022 will end. In the winter, the cooling of the titanium civil market is still very obvious. The orders in the material market can be described as bleak, and the competition has become extremely fierce. The profit margins that were already low have become unprofitable. Many bosses of titanium processing private enterprises said that they could earn a small amount of money by selling materials before, but now they can’t even earn half of the money, which shows the intensity of the market. But at the same time, we also see that the military product market is still hot, and the orders of enterprises engaged in military product production are still sufficient, and they are even working overtime to meet the deadline. However, not everyone can climb the threshold of the military industry. It needs to be at the forefront of the industry in terms of equipment, quality, technology, and management.
Looking forward to the titanium market next year, there will be new innovations and bright spots in the civilian titanium market. For example, the new Apple iPhone 15 mobile phone adopts a titanium frame, which will lead to a new wave of titanium materials used in the civilian electronics industry. It is estimated that the amount of titanium used in the iPhone 15 series mobile phones can reach more than 3,000 tons. If Samsung, Huawei, OPPO, VIVO, Xiaomi, and other mobile phone manufacturers follow up, this market will also be huge. In addition, in the field of the automobile industry and civil health, with the innovation of products and markets, the demand for titanium, a "space" material, will also increase. All these require small and medium-sized private enterprises to innovate products and open up markets, and strive for the application of titanium in more fields.
This week, the titanium material market is weak and stable, the price of raw material sponge titanium remains unchanged, and the titanium material market price is stable.
