Based on applications, paints and coatings are the single largest end-user segment for titanium oxide, accounting for approximately 63 percent of the global demand, and the sector is expected to grow at a rate of 3.2 percent until 2021. The second largest demand is from plastics (19 percent of the demand), followed by papers (9 percent).
So far, there are no substitutes for titanium dioxide that would be economical to produce in large scale. Over the years, other alternatives have only managed to replace 5 percent of the market, driven by specialty-grade requirements. Increasing environmental regulations in the titanium dioxide market have resulted in plant closures and these rules are expected to become more stringent in the next few years.
The research methodology adopted for the report included:
The chloride process is used for around 53 percent of the production of titanium dioxide, whereas the sulfate process is used for the remaining 47 percent. Around 95 percent of the capacity in North America and more than 70 percent of capacity in Europe are based on the chloride process while 98 percent of the Chinese titanium dioxide capacity is based on the sulfate process.
