Chinese Titanium Market in 2008/2009 - (PPT)

摘要

Chinese sponge manufacturers still need some time to compete with other major sponge manufacturers in the world in quality and productivity matters, but may take some market share from existing players as well. Chinese domestic titanium market is growing faster; in 2008 China consumed 24,068t of mill products. (Total production is 27,737t). (China has become the No.2 country in the world in consumption of titanium mill products.) Mills are trying and planning to produce coil, welded tube. Big Aircraft Production Project was announced too. We believe most of the sponge productions will continually consuming domestically in China. New Chinese sponge manufacturers will face a hard competition domestically and worldwide. In 2008 totally 13 titanium sponge manufactures produced sponge. In 2009, in the first half they have decreased to 10.
