2021 Titanium dioxide production analysis in May

According to TDD statistics, China's titanium dioxide production in May 2021 was 331,900 tons, up 1.83% month-on-month and 23.66% year-on-year, and the total production from January to May 2021 was about 1,587,800 tons, up 19.41% year-on-year.

根据多多统计，2021年5月中国钛白粉产量33.19万吨，环比增长1.83%，同比增长23.66%，2021年1-5月产量共计约158.78万吨，同比增长19.41%。

Regional production has increased and decreased; some manufacturers have reduced production due to equipment maintenance and strict environmental protection inspections. The environmental inspection in Guangxi area has been completed, and enterprise production has resumed, with production increasing.

地区产量有增有减，部分厂家受装置检修及环保组严查等因素影响有所减产，广西地区环保检查完成，企业生产恢复，产量上行。

五月份产量排名前三的地区分别是四川、山东、安徽，分布占总产量的23%、15%、12%。

May production ranking of the top three regions are Sichuan, Shandong, Anhui, accounting for 23%, 15%, and 12% of total production, respectively.

May's chloride process production was at 25,000 tons, up 11% from April's output.

5月氯化法产量在2.50万吨，环比4月产量增长11%。

目前市场进入淡季，需求有所减弱，海运费价格暴涨加之国内钛白粉价格高位，本月出口市场有所转弱，厂家多保持满负荷生产，但市场需求依旧强劲，供应紧俏，钛白粉价格维持高位。

The current market is entering the off-season, with demand weakening. Soaring shipping prices, coupled with high domestic titanium dioxide prices, have made the export market weaker this month. Manufacturers are maintaining full production, but market demand remains strong, supply is tight, and titanium dioxide prices remain high.
