The significant applications and usages of titanium dioxide have added to the lucrativeness of the global titanium dioxide market in 2018. According to the latest report from Grand View Research, the global titanium dioxide (TiO2) market size was valued at around US$ 13.2 billion in 2016. The market is expected to witness growth at a CAGR of over 8.9% from 2016 to 2025, owing to increasing demand from end-user industries. Usage of the product as pigments in paints & coatings formulation is expected to fuel industry growth over the next few years.

二氧化钛的重要用途和应用使得2018年全球二氧化钛市场的利润增加。根据Grand View Research的最新报告显示，2016年全球二氧化钛（TiO2）市场规模估值约为132亿美元。由于终端用户行业的需求增加，预计2016年至2025年复合年增长率将超过8.9％。该产品作为颜料在油漆和涂料配方中的使用预计将推动未来几年的行业增长。

Within the global titanium dioxide market, the paint and coatings segments are expected to remain the largest market. Increasing demand for architectural and industrial coatings in the developing countries of Asia Pacific, particularly China and India, has registered huge demand for titanium dioxide in the paint and coatings industry, which would further boost the growth for this segment over the next few years. While Asia Pacific is also expected to remain the largest market due to the growth of end-use industries, such as paint and coatings, plastics, and paper.

在全球二氧化钛市场中，油漆和涂料行业预计仍将是最大的市场。亚太地区发展中国家，特别是中国和印度对建筑和工业涂料的需求日益增加，这给油漆和涂料行业带来了巨大的二氧化钛需求，这将进一步推动这一领域在未来几年内的增长。由于终端使用行业（如油漆，涂料，塑料和纸张）的增长，预计亚太地区仍将是最大的市场。

China is the World’s Largest Titanium Dioxide Supplier，中国是世界上最大的二氧化钛供应商

China has become the world’s largest titanium dioxide supplier since 2009. During 2013-2016, the domestic titanium dioxide industry has registered a rapid growth as supported by the increase in demand for the products both at domestically and internationally. Today, China produces over 2.6 million tones of titanium dioxide per year, and exports a huge amount of its titanium dioxide products to Europe, the US and other Asia Pacific countries.

自2009年以来，中国已成为全球最大的二氧化钛供应商。2013年至2016年期间，国内外二氧化钛产品需求的增长支撑了国内二氧化钛行业的快速增长。如今，中国每年生产260多万吨二氧化钛，并向欧洲，美国和其他亚太国家出口大量的二氧化钛产品。

China is not only the world’s largest titanium dioxide producer but also the largest exporter and consumer of titanium dioxide. According to the recent report from Tranalysis, China exported over 750,000 tons of titanium dioxide to the global market in 2016, maintaining its title of the world’s largest titanium dioxide exporter once again. China has also shifted its main titanium dioxide export destinations from European and North American to the emerging markets in Asia Pacific, Middle East, and South America over the recent years.

中国不仅是世界上最大的二氧化钛生产国，而且也是最大的二氧化钛出口国和消费国。根据Tranalysis最近的分析报告，2016年中国向全球市场出口了超过75万吨的二氧化钛，再次保持了其全球最大的二氧化钛出口国的头衔。近年来，中国也将其二氧化钛主要出口目的地从欧洲和北美转向亚太，中东和南美的新兴市场。

China’s government is currently working on its plan to eliminate outmoded capacities of titanium dioxide and strengthen environmental protection measurements. Small and middle-sized enterprises, with a production capacity under 50,000t/a, are the ones to suffer. They mostly get merged or withdrawn from the market. Without their production capacity of about 500,000 tonnes yearly, the domestic output might shrink about 20%. However, the growing demand from overseas is expected to continue fueling the titanium dioxide market growth in China in the near future.

中国政府目前正在制定计划，以消除过时的二氧化钛能力并加强环保措施。生产能力在5万吨/年以下的中小型企业将受到影响。他们大多会被合并或退出市场。如果其年产量不超过50万吨，那么，国内产量可能会缩减20％左右。然而，海外需求的增长预计将在不久的将来继续推动中国二氧化钛市场的增长。

Titanium Dioxide Market by Grade (Rutile, Anatase), Application (Paints & Coatings, Pulp & Paper, Plastics, Cosmetics, Ink), and Region - Global Forecast To 2021

二氧化钛市场（金红石，锐钛矿），应用（油漆和涂料，纸浆和造纸，塑料，化妆品，油墨）和地区 - 全球预测至2021年

The global titanium dioxide market is projected to reach USD 14.12 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2016 to 2021. The growth of the market is primarily driven by the increasing population, coupled with the growing demand for titanium dioxide from various applications, such as paints & coatings, pulp & paper, cosmetics, ink, and plastics, among others. The factors restraining the growth of this market are environmental regulations and volatile prices of raw materials.

预计到2021年，全球二氧化钛市场将达到141.2亿美元，另有报告预测，2016年至2021年的复合年增长率为5.8％。市场的增长主要受人口增长以及各种对二氧化钛应用需求的增长驱动，如油漆和涂料，纸浆和造纸，化妆品，油墨和塑料等。制约该市场增长的因素是环境法规和原材料价格波动。

“The rutile segment is projected to lead the grade types of the global titanium dioxide market during the forecast period.”“在预测期间，金红石型预计将引领全球二氧化钛市场的等级类型。”

The rutile segment is projected to lead the grade type of the global titanium dioxide market from 2016 to 2021. Rutile is the most stable form. Rutile titanium dioxide has a higher refractive index, higher specific gravity, and greater chemical stability, and it better suits the requirement of key applications such as paints & coatings and plastics.

金红石型预计将从2016年至2021年引领全球二氧化钛市场的等级类型。金红石是最稳定的形式。金红石型二氧化钛具有较高的折射率，较高的比重和较高的化学稳定性，更适合油漆，涂料和塑料等关键应用领域的要求。
