Roskill's 5th report on Titanium Metal will be published within 8 weeks. If you're involved with Titanium Metal in any way, it will help you make the right decisions.
From 2003 to 2008 the global titanium metal industry doubled in size with titanium sponge production increasing from 74kt to 176kt, and consumption of titanium mill products exceeding 130kt in both 2007 and 2008. This rate of growth was in response to industrial demand from chemical and power plant in China, and the production of new titanium-rich generations of passenger aircraft by Boeing and Airbus, as well as increasing build rates for existing models. In 2009 delays in aircraft manufacture and slowing industrial demand resulted in a sharp drop in both production and consumption of titanium metal. Growth has resumed in 2010, but at a somewhat slower pace.
Titanium sponge prices peaked in 2006, when the increase in demand was outstripping that of production capacity. Although there is now over-capacity, prices have been supported by production cuts, particularly in the USA and Japan.
