The plastics industry has become a major consumer of titanium dioxide. TiO2 is employed as a white pigment in plastic products ranging from packaging materials and consumer goods to automotive components. The packaging sector, in particular, has witnessed substantial growth due to e-commerce, food packaging, and various consumer product applications. This has translated into an increased need for TiO2 to achieve the desired whiteness, opacity, and UV protection in plastic packaging materials.
Furthermore, the food and pharmaceutical industries have contributed to the rising demand for titanium dioxide. TiO2 is used as a food additive (E171) to provide whiteness and opacity in various food products, including candies, chocolates, and toothpaste. In the pharmaceutical sector, it is utilized in tablet coatings and as a colorant in capsules and ointments. In addition to its role as a whitening agent, TiO2 is utilized for its opacity and coverage properties. This is especially important in confectionery, where it helps maintain the appearance of color consistency and ensures that printed designs on candies remain vibrant and visually appealing.
The Middle East and Africa are essential mining centers, which means that the region's industries have easy and affordable access to raw materials, lowering the region's overall manufacturing costs.
