As most zircon sand producers start to replenish stocks in March, coupled with the news that RBM and Iluka Company hold low level of stocks, zircon sand supply seems tight. However, participants believe that it is too early to say that the market would rebound soon as the real demand from downstream remains sluggish.
Despite of the active zircon sand market, zirconium silicate market keeps dropping influenced by the shrinking demand from ceramic producers. Most producers are in price competition for keeping market share with the price declining to RMB10,500-11,000/t from RMB11,000-11,500/t for zirconium silicate 64.5%min late February.
Zirconium oxychloride market turns flat and most producers report that the market activity decrease slightly compared with that in February. The price remains at as low as RMB10,000/t for zirconium oxychloride 36%min in the market.
