Market Overview

Titanium dioxide is considered to be a natural and chemically inert material, with semiconducting properties. It is synthesized from the mineral ilmenite (FeO.TiO2), using a sulfate or chloride process for nearly 100 years. It can confer whiteness and opacity on various products, such as paints, papers, and cosmetics act as a dispersive agent, flocculent, and whitening agent. It has light-scattering properties and a very high refractive index, thus effectively giving a white opaque coating by using a low level of pigment. Nano-sized titanium oxide particles (also called ultrafine, nanocrystalline, or microcrystalline) with a diameter of less than 100nm are used in sunscreens because they block ultraviolet radiation while remaining transparent on the skin. The product has a wide scope of application in coatings of photovoltaic cells as a photoactive material owing to its efficiency in improving the performance of dye-based cells including dye-sensitized solar cells, quantum dot-sensitized solar cells, polymer-inorganic hybrid solar cells, inorganic solid-state solar cells, and perovskite solar cells. Rutile and ilmenite are the major minerals of titanium dioxide. Rutile is found in metamorphic, sedimentary, and igneous rocks, widely used for the production of titanium metal and as pigments. Titanium dioxide combined with other colored pigments is applied in numerous end-users, including automotive coatings, aircraft coating, marine coatings, and architecture & decorative coatings. Titanium dioxide used in the cosmetic industry is regulated under 21 CFR Volume 1 Sec. 73.25 and Sec. 352.10 and can be used for coloring effect and as sunscreen active ingredient respectively.

Driving Factors

The growing construction activities including both residential and non-residential infrastructure, positively influence the demand for paints & coatings, thereby creating significant demand for titanium dioxide. For instance, the housing market is growing steadily in the US driving the titanium dioxide market in the region. In decorative paints and coatings, titanium dioxide has a self-cleaning ability and protection against bacteria, algae, fungi, and pollution and also ensures ease of application, a long-lasting fresh look, fewer coatings, and easy cleaning surfaces. The high disposable income of consumers as estimated by OECD increases the purchasing power of titanium dioxide to improve the standard of living. The growing focus on aesthetic and visual appearance in architecture is promoting the demand for paints and coatings, thereby positively influencing the market demand for titanium dioxide. The technological advancement and innovation in materials, manufacturing processes, and digital technology enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of ultrafine titanium dioxide products and services. The increasing population, urbanization, and changing consumer preferences are other significant factors responsible for market growth.   

Restraining Factors

Stringent environmental policies of the government, especially APAC, and EU, banned the use of titanium dioxide to control emissions and ensure careful disposal of the waste that is produced during the sulfate process to manufacture titanium dioxide. The growing demand–supply gap acts as a restraining factor in the market. The use of TiO2 mimicking substitutes, such as antimony oxide, carbonates, and zinc oxide, or its combination challenges the market demand for TiO2.
