Sponge titanium falls below 45,000: titanium price in mid-July 2026
Published by Engineering Team, Shaanxi Qianyi Tuoda Technology Co., Ltd on 2026-07-16
In mid-July 2026, titanium market ushered in important changes, 0 grade titanium sponge mainstream quotation 4.8-4.9 million yuan/ton, The actual transaction price of the market has dropped to 45,000 yuan/ton mark.TA2 pure titanium ingot quotation 5.4-5.5 million yuan/ton, compared with last week, down 500 yuan per ton;TA2 pure titanium hot rolled plate thickness 3-8mm, quoted 63-68 yuan/kg;TA1 grade 20-40mm puretitanium barQuotation 10.5- 110,000 yuan/ton.At present, the industry as a whole has entered the loss range, and the head sponge titanium production enterprises have started the production reduction plan.
The core features of this round of market can be summarized as, Titanium for civil use follows the decline in raw material prices, aviation, medical treatment, Military and other high-end titanium prices remain stable, Industry production reduction landing, The market is clearly structurally divided.according to the monitoring data, chemical engineering, Orders for civilian areas such as electroplating fell by more than 40% year-on-year, Demand in the high-end sector remained stable, Support high-end titanium prices firm.
1. Titanium sponge: spot transactions hit the 45,000 yuan/ton mark
0 grade titanium sponge market mainstream quotation 4.8-4.9 million yuan/ton, Grade 1 civilian sponge titanium quotation 46,000 - 47,000 yuan/ton, The actual transaction center of the market has come to 45,000 yuan/ton.
From the perspective of market fundamentals, titanium sponge enterprises have greater inventory pressure and fierce shipping competition.According to Baoji Titanium Industry Research Institute, In July, large-scale titanium sponge enterprises started to reduce production, To ease the pressure of supply and demand imbalance.cost level, The current spot price has been lower than the semi-flow, Cost line of two mainstream production processes in the whole process, The industry as a whole is in a state of loss.
This is an important market signal., There is limited room for further price declines, However, downstream demand is insufficient, Market rally lacks support, It is expected that the market will remain low in late July.
There is a lag effect on the market impact of production cuts.Short-term 1-2 weeks, the previous inventory will continue to release, prices are still under pressure;Medium 1 to 2 months, supply contraction, market gradually bottomed out;More than 3 months of long-term dimension, supply and demand rebalance, titanium prices have a chance to rebound.
Second, titanium ingot, plate, rod, pipe, titanium powder market differentiation
Pure titanium TA2 ingot quotation 5.4-5.5 million yuan/ton, down 500 yuan per ton from last week;TC4 titanium alloy ingot 6.5-6.7 million yuan/ton, the price remains stable.Downstream chemical equipment, Electroplating industry enters off-season, Weak willingness to purchase, stock accumulation, The price of civil billet follows the downward trend of sponge titanium, TC4 depends on aviation, Medical stabilization orders, Prices are firm.
In terms of plates, 3-8mm TA2 hot rolled plates are quoted at 63-68 yuan/kg, down 2-5 yuan per kilogram compared with last week;Cold rolled titanium coil 72-80 yuan/kg;The average price of TC4 wide plate is 78.5 yuan/kg, and the price of high-end brand is stable.New orders in the civilian market have shrunk dramatically, chlor-alkali, PTA project shutdown, Downstream processing plant procurement slowed down, TC4 medium plate is used for aerospace structural parts, High pressure chemical equipment, Demand is stable.
titanium barWire market, 20-40mm TA1 puretitanium barQuotation 10.5- 110,000 yuan/ton, price lower;TC4 titanium alloy rod 14.5-15.5 million yuan/ton to keep stable;Medical grade TC4ELItitanium barQuotation 18.0-22.0 million yuan/ton, price firm.High-end titanium alloy rods rely on aviation, medical, military orders to resist falling, civilian puretitanium barFollow the material down.
titanium pipeMarket, ordinary seamless puretitanium pipeQuotation 120-125 yuan/kg, the market has a price but no market, chemical enterprises overhaul, procurement suspension;Special titanium alloy heat exchanger tube, Military fluid pipeline maintained high, Titanium welded pipe exports increased slightly, However, it cannot make up for the gap in domestic civilian demand.
Titanium powder market polarization, plasma atomization aviation grade titanium alloy powder 130-160 yuan/kg, stable price, 3D printing field demand to support high-end powder boom;Ordinary hydrogenated titanium powder followed sponge titanium slightly down, The price difference between high and low end products continues to widen, The trend of high-end industry is obvious.
III. Quotation summary and procurement decision reference
In mid-July 2026, the titanium market showed obvious differentiation.Titanium sponge, TA2 ingot, TA2 hot rolled plate, civil pure titanium bar, ordinary seamlesstitanium pipeThe price of ordinary HDH titanium powder fell;TC4 ingot, TC4 plate, TC4 alloy rod, medical TC4ELI rod, special heat exchange tube, aviation grade titanium powder prices remain stable.
core trend, civilian chemical, electroplate, chlor-alkali, PTA orders fell by more than 40% year-on-year, aviation, medical treatment, war industry, 3D printing high-end demand is stable, The structural differentiation of the industry has intensified.Titanium Sponge Price Breakdown Cost Line, Production reduction of head enterprises, It's a bottoming signal., Subsequent price rebound depends on the effect of production reduction.
procurement suggestions, Civilian TA1, TA2 Titanium, Current Price Downward Phase, Prioritize on-demand procurement, Price not locked temporarily, Continue to pay attention to the implementation of sponge titanium prices and production reductionsTA10 and other high-end titanium materials, price stability, Purchased according to project plan, Long-term framework agreements can be signed to lock in costsTitanium powder procurement, aviation medical spherical titanium powder procurement on demand, ordinary HDH titanium powder can continue to wait and see.
IV. Frequently Asked Questions
Will titanium sponge prices continue to fall?Short-term prices have broken through industry cost lines, Continue Downward Space Limited, July high probability low shock, The rebound of the market depends on the production reduction of large factories.
How does the production reduction of sponge titanium affect the downstream titanium material?There is a conduction cycle in yield reduction, 1-2 Weekly Inventory Continuous Release, 1-2 Monthly ingot plate raw materials gradually bottom, More than 3 months downstream finished titanium prices are expected to pick up.
Why are TC4 and TA2 price movements different?TC4 is mostly used in aviation, medical, military and other high value-added fields, with stable orders;TA2 is dominated by chemical and electroplating civilian scenes, which are greatly affected by the industry cycle, so the market differentiation.
