Product Description
Titanium chloride, or tetrachlorotitanium, referenced as TiCl4, is a colourless easily liquefied compound primarily used to produce titanium metal and Titanium oxide pigments. It is manufactured by exposed to chlorine of titanium-containing raw materials such as ilmenite or rutile. It is combined with coke and chlorine, and thus, with high enough temperatures, titanium tetrachloride and other compounds like carbon monoxide and dioxide are formed. It has a characteristic, sharp, acrid, and evil-smelling odor and is highly corrosive with water to form hydrochloric acid & titanium compounds.
Titanium tetrachloride is widely utilized in the production of titanium metal through the Kroll process. It is reacted with magnesium or sodium to give a titanium sponge. Furthermore, it is used in the production of Titanium oxide, which is an important white coloring agent in paints, plastics, and paper industries because of its brightness and opacity. Titanium tetrachloride is also used in the creation of the iridescence effect in pearls and as a catalyst in various organic syntheses. In the case of the smoke screen and skywriting, it comes as white smoke when exposed to moist air.

Europe Titanium Tetrachloride Price
Fourth Quarter of the 2023-European Titanium Tetrachloride market was not very successful as there was a downtrend in prices because of poor demand from the construction and automotive industries. Hurdles that were encountered included geo-political situations that affected the slow progress of business globally, and, particular challenges in France where a change of price in certain products, arising out of fewer inquiries from the Paints and Coatings industries was addressed. Seasonal destocking, reduced construction activities during winter, and year-end holidays further dampened demand. Manufacturers responded by scaling back production to manage oversupply and stabilize the market.

North America Titanium Tetrachloride Price
The North American market for Titanium Tetrachloride was average in the fourth quarter of 2023, but it was recognized as very volatile. Early optimism stemmed from increased inquiries from the Paints and Coatings industries, coupled with a robust US economy and heightened construction activities. However, the market faced challenges including limited product availability and reduced operational capacities at manufacturing facilities. The downward trend in energy prices towards the quarter's end helped reduce production costs, although this was offset by weakened demand from the automotive sector. Additionally, the typical end-of-year destocking, involving inventory reductions by manufacturers and distributors, further influenced market dynamics. The global demand contraction also led Chinese manufacturers to lower their prices to stay competitive, impacting the overall market environment in North America.

Asia Pacific Titanium Tetrachloride Price
Challenges were seen during the fourth quarter of 2023 and due to this the Titanium Tetrachloride market in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region was bearish. A decrease in the order of moderate to low in major downstream markets which include paints and coatings, construction, and automotive affected market sentiments negatively. The APAC market also saw transportation costs reduce, especially the freight rates, due to reduced global trade activity thereby enabling quicker movement of finished goods. In spite of sufficient product availability from manufacturers operating at reduced capacities and engaging in scheduled maintenance, prices in major markets like Japan declined. This decrease was driven by reduced inquiries from the paints and coatings sector and falling crude oil prices, which eased manufacturing costs.
