Global TiO2 Pigment Industry Has Strongest Year in Two Decades
VICTORIA PARK, WA - The $17 billion global titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment industry improved profitability in 2011, with figures that TZ Minerals International Pty. Ltd. (TZMI) believes are the strongest in two decades.
In the eighth edition of the Global TiO2 Pigment Producers Comparative Cost and Profitability Study 2012, TZMI reported that manufacturing cost is expected to increase dramatically in the next two to three years as legacy ore contracts roll off and are replaced by contracts that strongly favor feedstock producers.
