The titanium market size was valued at USD 25.52 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 42.75 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of around 5.9% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing usage in several end-use industries.
Titanium is a metal that is formed from ilmenite and rutile and is considered to be lighter and stronger than steel. These metals are resistant to corrosion and have a long lifespan. When the temperature of this metal is raised, it turns changes into different color. Despite having the strength of steel, titanium is 40% lighter, making it appropriate for a wide range of applications. Titanium is an ideal metal for aircraft engineers since it is light weight and has a great erosion resistance. Although titanium is the fourth most abundant metal in the earth's crust, it has to go through an exceedingly complex procedure to avoid contamination, particularly from oxygen.
The COVID-19 pandemic has boosted demand for automobiles even further, since most people nowadays prefer private traveling over public transportation owing to the virus's threat. Titanium alloys are employed to replace some hefty automotive components, which is projected to drive the titanium market.

Market Segment Insights
The titanium dioxide segment accounted for a major market share in 2021
Based on types, the market is segregated into titanium pigment, ferrotitanium, titanium sponge, titanium tetrachloride, titanium concentrate, titanium dioxide, and titanium metal. The titanium dioxide segment accounted for a major market share in 2021. Titanium dioxide is frequently utilized in the paint and coating industries because of its durability, opacity, whiteness, superior coverage, and high brightness. Paints and coatings containing titanium dioxide are widely utilized in the construction industry, wood finishes, protective coatings, waterborne paints, powder coatings, general industrial finishes, automotive OEM coatings, and architectural coatings. The increasing population and rapid urbanization in Asia Pacific’s emerging economies also help to drive market. The titanium metal segment is estimated to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. The major end-user industry using titanium metal is aerospace and military. Titanium is an extremely stable and cost-effective alternative to aluminium, with the ideal weight-to-strength ratio. Besides from aircrafts and other components, titanium is mostly employed in the construction of turbine engines. Components such as hubs, discs, compressor blades, and intake cases, as well as seals and spacers, are all made of titanium in turbine engines.
The aerospace & marine segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period
On the basis of applications, the market is fragmented into papers & plastics, additives & coatings, pigments, energy, medical, industrial, aerospace & marine. The aerospace & marine segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period. Titanium has unique qualities such as crack resistance, fatigue resistance, excellent corrosion resistance, high tensile strength-to-density ratio, and the ability to sustain fairly high temperatures without spreading. Titanium is a great metal for missiles, spacecraft, naval ships, armor plating, and airplanes because of its characteristics. Titanium pipes are employed in the chemical and petrochemical sectors because of their excellent corrosion resistance.
Asia Pacific is projected to register a high CAGR during the forecast period
In terms of regions, the market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is projected to register a high CAGR during the forecast period. Growth of the market in the region is attributed to rising demand for titanium and legislation requiring the use of environmentally friendly products. Manufacturers of titanium metal and dioxide are focusing on this region since it is the major market for industries including construction, polymers, and aircraft.
