SHANGHAI, May 9 (SMM) - SMM data shows that China's titanium dioxide output stood at 340,000 mt in April, down 0.6% MoM and 0.5% YoY. From January to April, the output totalled 1.31 million mt, a drop of 1.3% YoY.
Weakening downstream demand prevented titanium dioxide prices from going up. Some producers plan to cut output if the market downturn persists. The domestic titanium dioxide output is estimated to fall to 320,000 mt in May with the end of the peak season.
