Throughout October, the epidemic situation continued to repeat, especially the recent intensification of the epidemic in Guangdong, which led to a significant reduction in downstream market demand. This situation is reflected in the titanium production field, that all production links have slowed down, and the processing plants that used to be hot in the queue have also begun to find jobs, and the overall material output has decreased significantly compared with the previous month.
For example, the hot titanium smelting and processing plants last year and the first half of this year used to be booked several months in advance. In October, the production tasks of various enterprises were obviously surplus, and the smelting plants also dispatched salesmen to go around for processing. There are also some forging and rolling mills. In the past, the production plan was scheduled on a monthly and weekly basis. Now the work at hand is enough for two or three days. The sales of some other bar and plate processing plants have also shrunk significantly, which can be used to describe the current market situation as a whole.
All of the above are reflected in the civilian material market and have little impact on the booming military market. The tightening of demand has also caused extremely fierce competition. Some companies have started price wars, and the sales competition in the material market has become increasingly fierce. At the same time, the demand for sponge titanium by material manufacturers has decreased, the inventory pressure of sponge titanium manufacturers has increased, and the voice and risk of price reduction have gradually increased.
