Weekly Domestic Titanium Market

Recently, there have been frequent outbreaks of epidemics in various parts of the country. This week, the main urban area of Baoji was temporarily restricted for three days. Although the government notified the main enterprises in advance, it still had a certain impact on the enterprises. Most of Baoji’s urban area was unsealed on Friday, but some areas were still closed, and the epidemic prevention situation is not optimistic.

Affected by the epidemic, companies need to consider various factors such as raw materials, transportation, and personnel and are very cautious in accepting orders. In addition, since September this year, orders in the downstream market have gradually shrunk, and the civilian market can only be described as bleak. The profit in the civilian market is meager and the competition is extremely fierce. Some small and micro enterprises are struggling on the verge of life and death.

This week, the market price of Baoji titanium materials remained basically stable, and the demand remained weak. The price of titanium sponge, the raw material, remains unchanged, and the purchase volume is greatly reduced.
