Market Benefiting from Widespread Use of Titanium Dioxide in Paint and Coating Formulations

Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, reveals in its recently updated report that rapidly rising use of TiO2 in cosmetics and textiles is expected to help push the size of the global titanium dioxide market from US$ 20.9 billion in 2024 to US$ 35 billion by the end of 2034.

Titanium dioxide is a bright white powdered chemical and is widely used in paint and coating formulations. The rising use of paints and coatings in construction, automobile, and electronics sectors is expected to boost the consumption of titanium dioxide pigments. The automobile manufacturing sector is witnessing rapid growth driven by increasing need for lightweight automobiles. This trend is expected to benefit titanium dioxide market growth, as titanium dioxide is widely used in paints and coatings due to their nanoparticle properties.

Rutile-grade titanium dioxide is gaining popularity due its highly effective stability and durability properties. These characteristics are further driving its use in the manufacturing of cosmetics, construction activities, and textile processing.

North America and Europe are dominant markets for titanium dioxide suppliers. This can be attributed to the growing automobile sector and presence of major end-use industries. Asia Pacific is expected to be fastest growing market due to rising construction activities. China is the major producer of titanium dioxide in the Asia Pacific region.

Key Takeaways from Market Study

  • Global demand for titanium dioxide is foreseen to rise at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2024 to 2034.
  • The United States market is approximated at US$ 2.8 billion in 2024.
  • Sales of titanium dioxide in South Korea are projected to increase at a CAGR of 6.6% during the next 10 years.
  • Rutile-grade titanium dioxide is estimated to account for 69.3% of the global market share in 2024.

Competitive Analysis
