The article presents an outlook for the global prices of titanium dioxide as of February 2009. The global $10.2 billion titanium dioxide market reached 5.1 million metric tons in 2008, according to SRI Consulting. Demand is expected to grow at 4.1 percent per year, to hit 6.3 million metric tons by 2013. North American and Western European demand is decreasing, due largely to significant decreases in the paper and paint industries, SRIC says.
