Developing new Lithopone formulations, one that enhances the properties of the existing Lithopone is anticipated to boost the demand for Lithopone white pigment during the forecast period. Reinforced Lithopone is one such development, wherein a copolymer is added to the polymerization reaction to yield Lithopone with an increased weather resistance and an anti-ultraviolet property. Moreover, development of nano-scale Lithopone is also anticipated to attract market interest during the forecast period.

In addition to its use as a pigment, titanium dioxide has emerged as a key player in photocatalysis and solar energy conversion due to its semiconducting properties. It can split water molecules or decompose organic compounds when exposed to light, which is a promising feature for environmental clean-up operations and renewable energy initiatives It can split water molecules or decompose organic compounds when exposed to light, which is a promising feature for environmental clean-up operations and renewable energy initiatives It can split water molecules or decompose organic compounds when exposed to light, which is a promising feature for environmental clean-up operations and renewable energy initiatives It can split water molecules or decompose organic compounds when exposed to light, which is a promising feature for environmental clean-up operations and renewable energy initiativesr 5566 titanium dioxide. Furthermore, when titanium dioxide nanoparticles are incorporated into cement or concrete, they can endow self-cleaning properties to architectural surfaces by promoting the breakdown of pollutants like nitrogen oxides under UV light.

In 2019, EFSA published a statement on the review of the risk related to the exposure to food additive titanium dioxide (E171) performed by the French Agency for Food, Environment and Occupational Health Safety (ANSES). In its statement, EFSA highlighted that the ANSES opinion reiterated the uncertainties and data gaps previously identified by EFSA and did not present findings that invalidated the Authority’s previous conclusions on the safety of titanium dioxide.
