The titanium dioxide market size is projected to grow from USD 20.72 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 24.41 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 3.33%. Titanium dioxide is an oxide of titanium found naturally in a variety of mineral sands. It is the most important white inorganic pigment, with excellent thermal stability. It also has outstanding light scattering qualities and is employed in applications that demand white opacity and brightness. Titanium dioxide can be found in two crystal structures such as anatase and rutile. Rutile pigments are selected over anatase pigments because they are more stable, durable, efficient, and have a high absorption capacity.
Titanium dioxide is utilized in numerous sectors and applications, including paints and coatings, paper, plastics, inks, and others. Titanium dioxide pigments are most extensively used for paints and coatings because they efficiently scatter visible light, imparting whiteness, brightness, and opacity to the coating. The constant rise of the construction industry, as well as the increased need for lightweight vehicles in the automotive industry, are expected to boost the market for titanium dioxide in paint and coating applications. Opportunities in the titanium dioxide market include rising demand for ultrafine titanium dioxide and increased use in photocatalytic applications.
Rutile is projected to be the largest segment by grade in Titanium Dioxide market
Rutile is the largest grade segment in the Titanium Dioxide market. Rutile has a more compact and stable structure than anatase does. Rutile grade titanium dioxide has outstanding optical qualities, including improved dispersion, coloring, opacity, weather resistance, anti-yellowing, and a bluer undertone. Rutile titanium dioxide is preferred in paints and coatings because it provides more color strength and opacity than anatase-grade titanium dioxide. Because of its high refractive index, it is more suited for exterior and interface applications; thus, these pigments have an improved capacity to scatter light in paint film.
Sulfate is projected to be the largest segment by process in Titanium Dioxide market
In the Titanium Dioxide market, sulfate is the largest process category. The sulfate process is a batch method for extracting titanium dioxide from ilmenite or titanium slag. The sulfate process for producing titanium dioxide is widely used in the APAC region, particularly in China. The sulfate process is more cost-effective because it uses lower-grade and less expensive ores and simpler titanium dioxide manufacturing technologies. Sulfate manufacturing has a significant cost, and a large amount of waste material is generated during the process technology, which also involves pollution control costs. Due of environmental concerns and end-use requirements for high-quality titanium dioxide, global producers are turning their focus to the chloride process.
Paints & Coating is the largest segment by application in Titanium Dioxide market during forecast region.
Titanium dioxide is an important white pigment used in the paint and coating industries. When employed in a paint and coating system, it extends the life of the paint and protects the substrate. Titanium dioxide is used in a variety of paint and coating applications to improve aesthetics, opacity, and durability. It is utilized for a variety of architectural and industrial coating applications. Pigments are used in architectural coatings such paints, stains, lacquers, primers, and clear coats. They are utilized in industrial coating applications such as automotive, coil, powder, and others. The quickly developing housing and construction sector, increasing GDP, continuous rapid urbanization, and increased disposable income propels the paints and coatings business, which further fuels the need for titanium dioxide.
APAC accounts for the largest share in Titanium Dioxide market by region
APAC had the largest Titanium Dioxide market in 2023. The region's overall expansion is driven by increased investments in infrastructure development projects, expanding urbanization, improving living standards, a robust automotive sector, and strong economic growth. The growing economies of countries such as China and India draw fresh investments from global manufacturers. APAC is the world's largest market for paints and coatings, owing to China and India's rapidly growing populations and urbanization. China is the world's largest producer and consumer of paints and coatings, with numerous major manufacturers investing in the nation to construct new manufacturing facilities.
Paints and coatings are the largest application category for titanium dioxide, and it is expected to rise in tandem with the expansion of paint and coating applications in the APAC region. China not only consumes titanium dioxide, but also exports it to India, Vietnam, Brazil, Spain, South Korea, Japan, and other countries. Lomon Billions Group, the world's third-largest maker of titanium dioxide, operates production units in China. Aside from Lomon Billions, TAYCA CORPORATION (Japan), ILUKA RESOURCES (Australia), ISHIHARA SANGYO KAISHA, LTD. (Japan), and numerous small and medium-sized firms (SMEs) manufacture titanium dioxide in the APAC region.
