摘要

Recent titanium dioxide (TiO_2) price hikes by major producers are unlikely to be accepted by pigment endusers, analysts told IM. "While TiO_2 prices have come down with a variety of non-integrated producers (...) I do not see [the recently announced] price hikes sticking in the near-term," Hassan Ahmed, of Alembic Global Advisors said.
