“China’s titanium dioxide production capacity last year was nearly 4 million tons, and this year, with new capacity coming online, it will total 6.5 million tons. What does it mean when an industry’s capacity exceeds demand by 50%? I think that speaks for itself,” said Xie Bingkun.
On April 14, Xie Bingkun, chairman of Kunchai Technology (SH603826, stock price: RMB 56.33, market capitalization: RMB 26.362 billion), granted interviews to media outlets, including a reporter from the Daily Economic News.
The titanium dioxide industry is dominated by numerous major players, making it fiercely competitive—a well‑known red‑ocean sector. Xie Bingkun is acutely aware of the industry’s current situation, yet he holds a different view: Kunchai Technology’s extraction‑based chlorination process produces titanium dioxide whose quality rivals or even surpasses that of international giants. As Xie puts it, the company can achieve the cost structure of the sulfuric acid process while offering pricing comparable to the chloride process.
“China has substantial demand for titanium dioxide, yet no domestically produced chlorinated titanium dioxide can truly represent Chinese standards—our supply chain remains firmly controlled by foreign firms. For example, white shirts turn yellow within a year, and toilets purchased as pristine white soon become stained—all because sulfuric‑acid‑based titanium dioxide is extremely unstable,” Xie Bingkun noted.
