Market Dynamics

Introduction

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) is a white-pigmented compound widely used in various applications including plastics, paper, cosmetics, paints, and other industries. This compound has unique light-scattering properties, chemical stability, and a high refractive index, making it a valuable ingredient in numerous products. Titanium dioxide plays a vital role in several industries, primarily as a pigment, UV absorber, and photocatalyst.

COVID-19 IMPACT

The titanium dioxide market was negatively impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020. There was a complete halt in manufacturing and construction activities resulting from labor shortage and disruption in the supply chain. This majorly affected the demand from various sectors, like paints and coatings, plastics, cosmetics, etc.

Market Drivers

Titanium Dioxide’s unique properties make it indispensable in a variety of applications. Owing to its properties and wide range of applications, there are several factors expected to drive growth in the global titanium dioxide market. Below given are a few:

• Growing construction sector – The global construction industry including both residential and non-residential infrastructure is growing rapidly and is expected to more than double in size between 2020 and 2030. Since titanium dioxide is used in a variety of applications in the construction sector, growth in the global titanium dioxide market is expected with the growing construction sector.
• Growing demand from the paints and coatings industry – Titanium dioxide is one of the major components in paints and coatings used in multiple sectors including automotive, consumer goods, etc. The growing demand for paints and coatings from all these sectors is substantially driving the market.
• The rapid adoption of ultrafine particles of titanium dioxide in cosmetics – Ultrafine titanium dioxide, also called nanoscale titanium dioxide has excellent transparency, and more effective ultraviolet (UV) scattering and absorbing properties. Ultrafine titanium dioxide when used in various applications in the cosmetics industry, such as creams, loose and pressed powders, eyeshadows, sunscreens, etc. provides flawless effect and better protection against harmful sun rays. Owing to such benefits, more and more cosmetic makers are demanding titanium dioxide.
• Stringent regulations across the globe – Governments across the globe are imposing stringent environmental regulations on the use of certain chemicals in paints and coatings that are harmful. This drives the market for titanium dioxide since this is one of the safest and most environmentally friendly components.

Recent News & Developments

In August 2022, Chemours commenced mining operations at its new sand mine in Florida, with the aim of boosting its titanium oxide production. The company will extract ilmenite from this mine, a critical component for their chloride-based TiO2 synthesis process. The mining operation is expected to have a lifespan of eight years.

On May 17, 2022, The Chemours Company, a multinational chemistry firm renowned for its leadership in Titanium Technologies, Thermal and Specialized Solutions, and Advanced Performance Materials, announced its leadership role in a three-year recycling research project. This collaborative effort involves industry, academic, and governmental experts and seeks to develop a more effective, cost-efficient, and environmentally sustainable process for recovering Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and polymers from plastic waste. This initiative, known as Remove2Reclaim, has the potential to significantly benefit the environment by enabling circularity in a broader range of applications, thereby reducing waste and energy consumption in manufacturing.

In May 2022, Chemours introduced process innovation with its new Viton TM Fluoroelastomers Advanced Polymer Architecture (APA) Offering. This chemistry company, listed on the NYSE as CC, is known for its leading market positions in Titanium Technologies, Thermal and specialized Solutions, and Advanced Performance Materials. They have developed an innovative and sustainable method to produce VitonTM fluoroelastomers of the Advanced Polymer Architecture (APA) grade without the use of a fluorinated polymerization aid.

In April 2022, L.B. Group showcased its new line of Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) pigments for coatings and inks during the American Coatings Show held in Indianapolis from April 5 to 7, 2022.
