From April 21 to 24, 2026, the 38rd China International Plastic and Rubber Industry Exhibition (CHINAPLAS 2026) was successfully held at the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center. As a professional titanium dioxide trader, our team attended the event in person to gain in-depth insights into the latest industry trends.
This year’s exhibition brought together over 4,900 exhibitors from around the world, focusing on “Sustainability” and “High Performance.” We observed a significant increase in demand for high-quality titanium dioxide from downstream plastic and masterbatch industries, with premium products such as chloride-process titanium dioxide becoming a major highlight.
Currently, the titanium dioxide industry is under severe pressure from rising raw material costs. Driven by substantial price increases in sulfur, sulfuric acid, and other raw materials, the titanium dioxide market has experienced multiple consecutive rounds of collective price hikes since March 2026. This price surge is not market speculation but a “survival battle” driven by companies under financial pressure from losses. In the face of ongoing cost volatility, downstream customers have raised their expectations for suppliers’ stable delivery capabilities and product cost-effectiveness. We not only supply products but also offer cost-effective selection solutions tailored to different processes. For example, by promoting high-dispersibility titanium dioxide, we help customers reduce processing energy consumption during masterbatch production, thereby offsetting some of the raw material costs.
Our company will continue to play the role of a trader as a vital link, providing cost-effective titanium dioxide solutions to help customers steadily navigate market changes.
