The demand for 30-50nm TiO2 powders stems from their enhanced surface area to volume ratio, which amplifies their reactivity and photocatalytic efficiency. This attribute is paramount in applications such as photovoltaics, where these nanoparticles can boost energy conversion rates in solar cells. In the field of environmental remediation, they serve as potent catalysts for degrading pollutants under light exposure. Furthermore, the exceptional transparency and refractive index of TiO2 nanoparticles make them ideal for high-performance coatings and paints, offering improved durability and aesthetic appeal.

  • Moreover, the influence of international trade policies and geopolitical factors cannot be understated. Changes in import tariffs or export restrictions can significantly affect the cost of raw materials, thereby impacting the operational budgets of rutile factories. To mitigate these risks, many factories have started to explore opportunities for vertical integration, either by acquiring mines or establishing long-term contracts with suppliers To mitigate these risks, many factories have started to explore opportunities for vertical integration, either by acquiring mines or establishing long-term contracts with suppliers To mitigate these risks, many factories have started to explore opportunities for vertical integration, either by acquiring mines or establishing long-term contracts with suppliers To mitigate these risks, many factories have started to explore opportunities for vertical integration, either by acquiring mines or establishing long-term contracts with suppliersrutile market factory.
  • The surge in demand for interior and exterior paints and use of plastic across various end-use industries drive the global Lithopone market. Lithopone white pigment is used in paints and coating systems that find applications in residential and industrial landscapes. Hence, as the construction & building sector flourishes, the demand for building and architectural materials such as paints and coatings will increase. This trend is conducive for the Lithopone market growth. In addition, white plastic materials are increasingly being used in consumer products. Developments in plastic forming technology is anticipated to indirectly boost plastic production, thus, increasing the demand for white pigments during the forecast period.
