Yes of course we are only guessing as to Yearly powder volume in say 1,2,3 years time. And also how the supply volume demand matches with Mined volumes. Then in turn how that churns with Mines that currently may have the resource Ti, But cant make a Business case to set up a Ti mine if the costs to mine are higher than the market price for Ti powder.
Supply/Demand etc sets the price. But I think Im staing the obvious if a Company bought a Machine to make say designer Luggage, and lets say they had a profitable Business Model with Powder at $80 per kilo. Yet may become unviable to make such luggage if the Ti powder price per kilo lifted to $250 per kilo.
These are hypothetical assumptions I know. But Im just highlighting the big question, where will 3000 tonns of Ti powder come from per year if 20 machines need 150 Tonns each per year.
And would buying 3000 tonns make the price per kilo cheaper, or would it make the Ti powder price skyrocket to $800 per kilo because demand went off the chart.
Does anyone know if we would be talking about $50 per kilo, or $250 a kilo for the Ti Powder ??

What price per kilo could a Bike company afford to pay, what about Golf or Plate Armour?
