Titanium Dioxide Market

Titanium Dioxide Market Outlook for 2022-2032

The global market for titanium dioxide is forecasted to be surge up at a significant pace with a CAGR of 5.35% throughout the forecast period (2022-2032).

As of 2022, the market is slated to be valued at US$ 19 Billion, up from US$ 18 Billion in 2021, representing an annual increase worth 5.5%. By 2032, the industry is poised to reach US$ 32 Billion.

Manufacturing and construction activities were delayed during the pandemic due to supply chain interruptions and manpower shortages, affecting demand from numerous application industries as  paints and coatings, plastics, cosmetics, and others. For example, L'Oréal, the world's largest cosmetics firm, lost EUR 1,735 million (US$ 2,024.52 million) in the first half of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

However, the situation is likely to improve within the predicted period. In the short term, rapidly rising demand from the paints and coatings industry is expected to be the primary driver of market growth. On the other hand, the toxicity of titanium dioxide is projected to stifle market expansion.

The market was dominated by the paints and coatings application category. With the ongoing expansion of construction activity, the category is expected to rise during the projection period.

The Asia-Pacific region dominated the global market. It is also predicted to rise at the fastest rate during the projection period, owing to increased demand in China and India.
