India Titanium Dioxide Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Demand & Supply, End-User Industries, Sales Channel, Regional Demand, Company Share, Foreign Trade, FY2015-FY2032

The India Titanium Dioxide market has achieved great expansion and reached approximately 66 thousand tonnes in FY2022 and is anticipated to grow at a steady CAGR of 3.97% by FY2032.

Titanium dioxide is derived from the mineral ilmenite (FeO.TiO2), which can be found in the metamorphic, igneous rocks and beach sands of India. India has huge reserves of ilmenite and rutile, majorly located in the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Odisha. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is a white permanent pigment popularly used as a raw material in several downstream industries such as paints, paper, toothpaste, plastics, inks, etc. TiO2 can be further categorized into its polymorphic forms- Anatase, Rutile, and Brookite. Of the three, only Anatase and Rutile hold commercial importance. Rutile TiO2 is comparatively more durable and stable with efficient light scattering properties than Anatase pigments which are less durable and are commonly used in low-quality dispersion paints, self-cleaning paints, and in road marking paints. However, Rutile pigments encompass a much broader application portfolio and cover almost all paint types. Apart from paints, Anatase grade is also used in other applications such as plastics, paper, textiles, detergents, printing inks, etc. while Rutile grade is used in the plastics and printing inks sectors.

Due to its whiteness, opacity, and refractive index, Titanium Dioxide is an important component in paints & coatings. Apart from that, because of its non-toxic nature and UV absorption properties, TiO2 is also suitable for use in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, toothpaste, and even in foodstuffs. As a result, TiO2 is an important component of many sunscreen lotions and creams. Increasing demand for paints and coatings due to expanding construction industry and ongoing infrastructure developments is expected to spur the demand for Titanium Dioxide in the forecast period. The India Titanium Dioxide market is estimated to reach nearly 100 thousand tonnes in FY2032.

Based on region, the India Titanium Dioxide Market is segregated into North, South, East, and West. In the historic period of FY2015-FY2022, West India has been dominating the market. In FY2022, West India accounted for approximately 60% of the market. West India has been the frontrunner in the consumption of Titanium Dioxide for a variety of uses due to the presence of significant paints & coatings manufacturers like Asian Paints in states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra.

Based on end-use, the India Titanium Dioxide market is segregated into Paints & Coatings, Plastic & Polymers, and Others. Among these Paints & Coatings is dominating the Titanium Dioxide market. This segment held roughly 60% of the Titanium Dioxide market in FY2022. Titanium dioxide is used in the paint and coatings industry to increase opacity and endurance, to assure the paint's longevity, and maintain freshness.

Domestic players in the India Titanium Dioxide market are The Kerala Minerals & Metals Limited, Travancore Titanium Products (TTP) Limited, V.V. Titanium Pigments Private Limited, and Meghmani Organics Limited (MOL). However, Global Titanium Dioxide players are The Chemours Company, Tronox Holdings Plc, Lomon Billions Group, Venator Materials Plc, KRONOS, The Louisiana Pigment Company, LP (KRONOS-Huntsman/Tioxide JV), The Kerala Minerals & Metals Limited, Indian Rare Earths Limited (IREL), and Cochin Minerals & Rutile Ltd (CMRL).
