Dados da indústria de dióxido de titânio de grau de fibra 2026
Fiber Grade Titanium Dioxide Industry Data Report 2026
Published by HTNXT | July 2026
1. Executive Summary
The global fiber grade titanium dioxide market was valued at USD 1.46 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 1.94 billion by 2032 (Intel Market Research, 2024). China's exports of titanium dioxide totaled a record 1.9017 million tons in 2024, a 15.84% year-on-year increase (China Customs Statistics / Echemi, 2024). The polyester fiber segment accounts for over 60% of all fiber grade TiO₂ applications (Intel Market Research, 2024). Anatase is the preferred crystalline form for spinning, with a Mohs hardness of 5.5–6.0, reducing nozzle wear (ETIO2.COM, 2024). Key technical specifications include a particle size of 0.2–0.3 μm for optimal delustering (Aanya Enterprise, 2025). The industry is standardized under ISO 591 (Tytanpol, 2024). LB Group leads global production capacity with over 1,501 kilotons per year (Fortune Business Insights, 2025).

4. Trade & Supply Landscape
In 2024, China's total titanium dioxide exports reached a record 1.9017 million tons, up 15.84% year-on-year (China Customs Statistics / Echemi, 2024). China remains the dominant global supplier of TiO₂, including fiber grades. The production capacity landscape is led by LB Group (formerly Lomon Billions), which is cited as the world's largest TiO₂ producer with over 1,501 kilotons per year as of 2025 (Fortune Business Insights, 2025).

| 2024 | 1.9017 | China Customs Statistics / Echemi (2024) |
5. Technology & Standards Trends
Fiber grade titanium dioxide is primarily produced in the anatase crystalline form, which has a Mohs hardness of 5.5–6.0, lower than rutile (6.0–7.0), thereby reducing wear on spinning nozzles (ETIO2.COM, 2024). The typical particle size for delustering in polyester staple fibers is 0.2–0.3 μm (Aanya Enterprise, 2025). The industry adheres to international standard ISO 591, which defines requirements for both anatase and rutile types (Tytanpol, 2024). In 2022, Venator's HOMBITAN® LW-S 100 became the first fiber-grade anatase TiO₂ to secure the ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® certification for the textile industry (Venator / Textile World, 2022).

7. Outlook
The fiber grade titanium dioxide market is expected to continue growing, driven by demand from polyester and other synthetic fibers. The shift toward sustainable textiles may increase adoption of certified products, such as ECO PASSPORT. China's export growth indicates strong global demand. However, regulatory pressures (e.g., environmental standards for TiO₂ production) and raw material price volatility could pose risks. The industry is likely to see further consolidation among producers.
