44% — a sharp increase in Russian titanium exports to China

▪️3,700 tons — sales of Russian titanium to China in 2024. The annual growth was 44%. The main part of the shipments came from finished products,” the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China states.

▪China remains the largest producer of sponge titanium (primary metallurgical raw materials). It accounts for about a third of the global market. However, the country does not cover domestic needs for finished products due to the growing demand in the aerospace, chemical and mechanical engineering industries.
