Asian optical brightener sellers remain optimistic about market prospects.

Prices for Asian rutile-type matting agents remain stable, with market fundamentals unchanged. Most sellers remain optimistic about the outlook, and a leading matting agent producer stated at a recent conference in Hong Kong that, following last year’s price decline triggered by oversupply, prices have now bottomed out. An independent major producer also indicated that demand in the plastics sector is expected to pick up over the coming quarters.

China will become a major producer and exporter of matting agents.

According to a report by HC Paint Raw Materials Network, over the 11-year period from 2000 to 2011, China’s matting agent production capacity increased from 340,000 tons per year to 2.62 million tons per year, while output rose from 310,000 tons per year to 1.812 million tons per year—nearly half of global production. Both capacity and output grew at an annual average rate exceeding 15%, significantly outpacing the global average growth rate during the same period, making China the world’s largest producer and consumer of matting agents.

A new process for preparing matting agents has been developed, but industrial-scale implementation faces challenges.

The Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in the United States has developed a new process for producing matting agents. Compared with the conventional Kroll process, this method features a simpler flow, lower energy consumption, and yields a matting agent as the final product. Moreover, by pressing and melting the prepared matting agent, titanium products with shapes similar to the finished articles can be obtained.

Extinction agent price hikes cause market turmoil; ample inventory available; pricing to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Recently, domestic extinction‑agent prices have been influenced by news of price hikes from leading producers and the consolidation of major companies. Other manufacturers have shown strong willingness to follow suit, with price increases ranging from RMB 200 to 500 per ton. However, most distributors report that domestic brands have seen little price movement, adopting a wait-and-see approach—largely because downstream demand remains subdued and pressure from foreign brands remains significant, leaving spot‑order pricing still subject to individual negotiation.

Extinction agents are set to raise prices again in May, accelerating restructuring and M&A activity across the industry chain.

On May 7, Baililian announced that, effective immediately, it would raise the sales price of matting agents by RMB 300 per ton over the previous level. Shandong Dongjia and Panzhihua Tianlun also issued price‑increase notices on the same day, with hikes ranging from RMB 300 to RMB 500 per ton. Yang Xun, a matting‑agent analyst at Business Society, noted that, with demand still not fully recovered, manufacturers are primarily using price increases to consolidate earlier adjustments, bolster bullish market sentiment, boost confidence in the outlook, stimulate demand, accelerate receivables collection, and simultaneously expedite restructuring and M&A activity within the industry chain.
