In the first half of 2026, the titanium-zirconium industry chain experienced price increases driven by costs, resulting in a generally weak supply and demand situation and pressure on corporate profits. Titanium dioxide, titanium slag, titanium tetrachloride, titanium sponge, and ferrotitanium all saw price increases supported by raw material costs. Titanium dioxide, in particular, underwent five rounds of price adjustments due to soaring sulfur and sulfuric acid prices, but weak downstream demand led to a continued contraction in profitability. Zircon sand prices steadily increased due to tightening global supply, with zirconium oxychloride, fused zirconia, and zirconium silicate products following suit. Currently, the competition between costs and demand is intensifying. Will the industry's profits be restructured in the second half of the year? What opportunities and challenges will the market face? This conference will bring together industry experts and business leaders to deeply analyze industry trends and provide professional insights and decision-making references through keynote speeches and high-level forums, helping companies seize opportunities and strategically position themselves for breakthroughs. The conference serves as a platform for exchanging ideas and a bridge for deepening cooperation, injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of the titanium-zirconium industry.

As a benchmark event in the titanium and zirconium industry and an important link in promoting industrial cooperation, the 22nd International Ti & Zr Product Development Annual Conference & Awards Ceremony will invite representatives from global titanium and zirconium industry chain companies, including those from China, Australia, India, the UAE, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Mozambique, Vietnam, Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Gambia, Nigeria, Singapore, Madagascar, and Indonesia. These representatives will include ore suppliers, raw materials and auxiliary materials providers, mine owners, manufacturers, traders, steel mills, equipment, logistics and warehousing, research institutions, etc.,. More than 400 representatives from global titanium and zirconium insiders will gather in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, from September 7- 9, 2026, to explore new opportunities in the industry and focus on collaborative development.
