In July, in terms of domestic market, Chinese zircon sand suppliers only moved prices up slightly. Zirconium chemicals saw stable prices with contracted supply. Zirconium silicate witnessed greatly shrinking demand in ceramic industry especially in Shandong, Henan and Jiangxi provinces but stable prices limited by production costs. Fused zirconia prices hovered in the low levels. Zirconium sponge suppliers reduced prices to destock and ease cash pressure.
In overseas zircon sand market, two main Australian zircon sand suppliers in the world, namely Iluka and Tronox raised offers by USD60/t and consumers refused to accept the prices for poor demand. As for SA zircon sand market, RBM held prices unchanged, while Tronox increased offers by USD30/t. And they both had very short supply in Chinese market. Indonesian suppliers greatly reduced zircon sand supply for Lesser Bairam with stagnant transactions.
