In July 2016, China called for a thorough overhaul of mined-out areas in subsurface metal and nonmetal mines around the country, and requested that complete records of said areas be kept. This new regulation also pertains to titanium ore, the most upstream product of TiO2. The regulation will not only restrict the disorganized mining activities of small- and mid-sized ore manufacturers, but also help to promote an environmentally friendly mining technology - block caving.

On 15 July, 2016, Pangang Vanadium Titanium issued an announcement, estimating that it had lost USD120.31 million-150.38 million during H1 2016. In order to prevent being delisted due to sustained losses, seven days after issuing the announcement, the company declared that it will sell most of its assets, including its iron ore and titanium sponge businesses. However, the to-be-sold assets are all businesses which have been generating long-term losses. Therefore, CCM expects that it will be hard for Pangang Vanadium Titanium to achieve the desired result by selling these assets alone.

In addition, CCM is of the opinion that production capacity reductions from successive international TiO2 manufacturers are conducive to China's export market.

In July 2016, the upward trend of TiO2 prices in China has begun to slow. Price rises have only come from a few manufacturers in Sichuan Province, who raised quotations early in the month. The operating rate of the TiO2 industry continues to recover. In the meantime, the domestic acid dissolved titanium slag and ilmenite markets are showing upward trends, while the high titanium market remains stagnant.

According to CCM, China's new energy industry has skyrocketed since 2015 and the industry's phenomenal growth is the main driving factor behind Anhui Annada's further investment. However, on the basis that frequent investments have been made in the market recently, and will continue to be made, overcapacity in the future seems probable, and profits are liable to be lower than expected following several years of development.
