Titanium dioxide, also known as titanium (IV) oxide, is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium. It possesses UV-resistant properties, and is widely used in sunscreen preparation. The compound is often used as a pigment by numerous businesses, including food, cosmetics &skin care, paints and coatings, and plastics, due to its ultra-white hue and light-scattering property. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tested the compound to be used as a color additive in food, medicine, and cosmetic products. Increase in demand for titanium dioxide in various industries such as automotive and paint & coating is anticipated to boost the growth of the global titanium dioxide market.Increase in use of titanium dioxide in various industries is anticipated to boost its demand during the forecast period. Paints and coatings retain majority of titanium dioxide's market share.

Market scope and structure analysis

Key drivers of global titanium dioxide market

Surge in use of titanium dioxide in the paint &coating sectors in the building &automobile sectors as well as its use in the paper & plastic industry drivethe growth of the titanium dioxide market. In addition, it is used as a pigment to provide whiteness and opacity to products such as paints, coloring, plastics, papers, inks, cosmetics, and toothpastes, which boosted its demand, thereby contributing toward the global market growth.Moreover, titanium dioxide serves as a reinforcer in ceramic production and increases ceramic efficiency, which, in turn, is expected to augment the growth of the global market with new prospects.

Market scenario: opportunities and challenges

Rapid growth in urbanization has led to increase in residential and commercial building activities, which is likely to supplement the demand for titanium dioxide in paint & coatings industry. Over the forecast era, surge in demand for downstream products of titanium dioxide and natural dyes in the textile industry is expected to provide opportunities for the studied market. Technological innovation aimed at increasing the manufacturing processes to boost the yield of high-quality products, and is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market expansion. However, the use of titanium dioxide is stringently restricted, due to its carcinogenic effects, which hampers the growth of the overall market. Furthermore, high cost of titanium dioxide limits its adoption, globally, thereby restraining the market growth.

COVID-19 scenario analysis

The global titanium dioxide market is expected to witness slowdown during the forecast period, owing to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Alarming surge in cases of COVID-19 is predicted to have a long-term effect on the demand for titanium dioxide. As a result, businesses in the titanium dioxide industry are growing to reduce the COVID-19 consequences.
