Argus Titanium Prices
Overview
Titanium is a critical material essential to the aerospace and defence, medical, industrial manufacturing, power generation, chemical processing, steel and pigment sectors. Demand is set to accelerate over the coming years, driven principally by a ramp-up in aerospace manufacturing, alongside emerging markets and developing technologies such as 3C — computer, communication and consumer electronics.
Meanwhile the global supply has been disrupted by conflicts and broader geopolitical tensions, trade policy uncertainty and developing supply dynamics. Titanium appears on many national critical minerals lists, indicating its strategic role in trade policy and industrial resilience.

Argus is the trusted source for titanium price assessments and market intelligence, delivering decades of expert coverage on ilmenite , rutile, sponge, ingot, scrap and pigment. Our insights help clients understand cost drivers, anticipate supply risks and navigate sourcing challenges, especially in geopolitically exposed regions and constrained downstream environments.
We track titanium market trends — from mined mineral sands and ingot production to recycled scrap — and analyse how factors like additive manufacturing, metallurgical innovations, enhanced recovery methods and new titanium-producing markets could influence global costs.
Argus titanium price assessments are valued as an independent and fair reflection of the current market and are widely used in global supply contracts, particularly in aerospace manufacturing.
Argus’ breadth of coverage enables deeper visibility into the interaction between OEM market drivers, corresponding demand for titanium products, and scrap generated therein. Titanium’s price trajectory is closely tied to aerospace output, which drives demand for raw materials and scrap generation that flows back into the ingot and ferro-titanium sectors.
Argus offers a complete view of the titanium supply chain with in-depth news coverage that provides context for price dynamics — not just raw price data, but fully formed market analysis for the how and the why of the market swings.

How are Argus Titanium price assessments used by the market?
Long-term supply contracts
Indexing long-term supply contracts allows aerospace OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and other vendor/supplier relationships to unify raw material costs across a vast and complex supply chain. Argus has been the price provider of choice for the aerospace and defence industry for decades due to its extensive coverage of aerospace-grade raw materials, scrap and the alloy calculator tool.
Recovery value for specialty scrap
Manufacturers that generate scrap and sell to processors with specialty-metals recycling capabilities have long relied on Argus for standardised scrap pricing for specialty alloys. Argus produces a broad library of titanium scrap prices as well as other aero-grade alloys and the ability to create intrinsic-value-based calculations for any alloy to provide a fair market value for the most highly engineered recycled materials.
Contract surcharges
Companies that manufacture products downstream of an Argus index, for example a forged product or specialty alloy, incorporate relevant Argus price assessments into monthly or quarterly surcharges. Surcharges enable producers to pass on changes in raw material costs, such as titanium ingot or scrap solids, to their consumers.
Business planning
With geopolitical events cutting off supply of titanium products from major producing regions, coverage of alternative supply markets became a critical part of the news cycle. Beyond just the impact on pricing, businesses needed to understand whether they would even be able to get material to keep their operations running. Argus provides news on the entire supply chain from challenges to procuring the necessary volumes, to tariffs and export bans. If it will impact your business, Argus will explain the how and the why.
