Titanium supply trends
Titanium sponge

Major sponge trade flows:
• Japan → N. America • Russia → EU 28• Kazakhstan → China• Ukraine → China and
Russia
• Sponge trade highlights the small number of regional production hubs for sponge and melted products

Titanium Scrap

• Scrap estimated to account for ~60% of US melted feedstock • USA consumes the majority of scrap used in remelting globally

Titanium waste & scrap exports by main regions, 2015-2019E (kt)
Titanium waste & scrap imports by main regions, 2015-2019E (kt)
• Scrap trade has been increasing and is on track to grow further in 2019 • EU countries are major exporters of scrap and also account for significant imports, along with the USA• China reports very little scrap trade
Melted products

Titanium melted product capacity by technology, 2019 (ktpy)
• US capacity includes high amount of EBM and PAM, suitable for remelting scrap • Chinese melting capacity mainly via VAR• Capacity includes some double- and triple-melting, so actual ‘available’ capacity is much lower

Titanium melted products trade matrix, 2017 (17kt)
• Trade shows the flow of feedstock to mill product manufacturers, based primarily in aerospace production hubs
Major ingot & slab trade flows:
• USA → France• USA → UK • Russia → USA
Mill products

Titanium mill product output, 2018 (%) Titanium mill product trade, 2009-2019E (kt)
• Mill product output increased significantly in both 2017 and 2018• This is reflected in increased trade volumes – global mill product trade is expected to remain at similarly high
levels in 2019
Mill products
Source: GTT, Roskill
• Mill product exports are sent to a wider range of countries than sponge and melted products exports

Major US mill product shipment destinations:
• UK – 18%• Japan – 13%• France – 12%• Germany – 9%• Mexico – 8%• Canada – 7%• Italy – 5%
Major Chinese mill product shipment destinations:
• Taiwan – 14%• USA – 11%• South Korea – 7%• UK – 6%• Germany – 6%• India – 5%• Indonesia – 5%

Mill products consumption

Note: Apparent consumption = production + imports – exports: changes in stocks are not accounted for.
Mill products apparent consumption, 2018 (%) Estimated mill products demand, 2018 (%)
• Apparent consumption of mill products has increased over the previous 5 years – largely due to aerospace growth
Titanium outlook
Mill products outlook: Aerospace
Source: Boeing Commercial Market Outlook, 2019-2038
• Demand for air travel is anticipated to grow strongly over the next 20 years, led by the Asia Pacific region
Boeing: World forecast traffic by region (Bn RPKs)
Note: RPKs = Revenue Passenger Kilometres; Within Asia Pacific excludes travel within China
Mill products outlook: Aerospace
• Roskill anticipates titanium demand in commercial aerospace to grow strongly in the near-to-medium term• Longer term trends are more uncertain – the aerospace industry has been historically cyclical• Existing aircraft orders (Airline Monitor) should support aircraft production rates to the mid-2020s

Mill products outlook: Industrial
• Main drivers for industrial demand are the chemical and power generation sectors • Chlorine generation and purified terephthalic acid (PTA) – China dominates• Main trends in power generation are increasing energy demand and move toward renewable technologies
Demand drivers
Uncertainties/threats
Chemical sector: Power generation:
Uncertainties/threats
Demand drivers
• Chlorine production• PET/polyester demand
• Increasing global energy demand• Nuclear power
• Kerbing of emissions – reducing coal demand
• Basic chemical industry growth and overall performance of global economy

Mill products outlook: Other uses
• Roskill expects strong growth in medical and high technology markets• Moderate growth is also expected in various other consumer markets
Medical
• Population growth• Ageing populations• Rising incomes• Sedentary lifestyles• Degenerative joint
problems
High-tech
• Semiconductor industry growth (sputtering targets)
• Demand for MRI scanners (super conducting wire)
Consumer
• Golf – limited growth in mature markets
• Golf – potential in developing markets
• Bicycles – competition from other materials
• High cost limits use to luxury items
• Potential for AM to make titanium more accessible
Source: Roskill
Summary
• Titanium demand growth expected from main end uses
• Particularly in the near to medium term
• Capacity for industrial-grade material thought to be adequate – high latent sponge/melting/mill capacity in China
• Tightness in aerospace-grade supply could result if demand remains strong
• High sponge capacity utilisation – expect to see continued increase in scrap use
• Ramp-up of aircraft production could lead to mill product bottle-necks
• Increases in sponge prices could lead to substitutions in some industrial applications
