Market Overview
Titanium Dioxide spent 2025 going down and started 2026 clawing back. Germany led the turn: prices rose 3.1% in the first half, USD 3,540/MT in Q1 to USD 3,650/MT in Q2, helped by European anti-dumping duties on imported material and a modest pickup in coatings demand. That reversed a year of softening, most of it down to weak construction and a wall of Chinese supply. The global average recovered too, USD 2,940/MT to USD 3,020/MT, about 2.7%. For the rest of 2026 we see a USD 2,950-3,200/MT band, with producer price increases, firmer titanium ore, and steadier paints and coatings demand behind it.
Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is the white pigment everything else is measured against. It comes from titanium ores, mostly ilmenite and rutile, worked up through either the chloride or the sulphate route, and it is prized for brightness, opacity, and resistance to ultraviolet light. Paints and coatings are the main event. TiO2 gives whiteness and hiding power to architectural, industrial, and automotive finishes; plastics and masterbatch come next, then paper, inks, rubber, and cosmetics. Because coatings and construction set most of the demand, the pigment lives and dies by the building cycle, and a slow quarter in housing or renovation shows up fast in orders. Costs come from ilmenite and rutile ore, sulphuric acid and energy, and, in Europe, the anti-dumping duties layered on Chinese imports.
Titanium Dioxide Price Forecast for 2026
The second half looks like a market leaving oversupply behind. Producers pushed price increases through after a rough 2025, and European anti-dumping duties thinned out the cheapest imports. Add steadier coatings demand and firmer ore, and the recovery has legs.
Two ways it could move. A real rebound in construction and coatings, with ore firmer still, would carry prices above our band. Fresh Chinese export pressure, or a weak building cycle, would cap the recovery below it.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 2,950 - 3,200 | Producer increases and steadier coatings demand |
| United States | 3,220 - 3,450 | Coatings demand and import economics firm |
| China | 2,450 - 2,650 | Large capacity keeps China the cheapest source |
| Germany | 3,600 - 3,850 | Energy and anti-dumping duties hold the premium |
| India | 2,920 - 3,150 | Coatings and construction demand support the middle |
For the Quarter Ending June 2026
Titanium Dioxide Prices Q2 2026:
- United States: USD 3,270/MT
- China: USD 2,490/MT
- Germany: USD 3,650/MT
- India: USD 2,960/MT
Titanium Dioxide Prices in the United States
The US came in at USD 3,270/MT in Q2, 2.8% over Q1's USD 3,180/MT. Producer price increases and a steadier coatings tone did the lifting through spring.
Why did the price of Titanium Dioxide change in Q2 2026 in the United States?
Producers made their announced increases stick. Architectural coatings demand steadied before the painting season, and firmer ore backed it up.
Titanium Dioxide Prices in China
China rose 2.9%, USD 2,420/MT to USD 2,490/MT. Export prices recovered off their 2025 lows and ilmenite firmed, but with capacity everywhere, China stayed the cheapest source.
Why did the price of Titanium Dioxide change in Q2 2026 in China?
Export quotes came up off the floor. Ilmenite cost more. Even so, the country's capacity kept prices the lowest on the panel.
Titanium Dioxide Prices in Germany
Germany moved the most, 3.1% to USD 3,650/MT from USD 3,540/MT, and stayed dearest. Anti-dumping duties on Chinese imports and energy-heavy sulphate-route costs kept it there.
Why did the price of Titanium Dioxide change in Q2 2026 in Germany?
The duties took the cheapest imports out of contention. Energy-heavy processing and dearer ore did the rest, holding a high floor.
Titanium Dioxide Prices in India
India rose 2.8%, USD 2,880/MT to USD 2,960/MT. Recovering coatings and construction demand met firmer imported feedstock.
Why did the price of Titanium Dioxide change in Q2 2026 in India?
Coatings and construction picked back up. Imported ilmenite and rutile firmed, and the wave of producer increases reached India too.
For the Quarter Ending March 2026
Titanium Dioxide Prices Q1 2026:
- United States: USD 3,180/MT
- China: USD 2,420/MT
- Germany: USD 3,540/MT
- India: USD 2,880/MT
Titanium Dioxide Prices in the United States
The US turned up to USD 3,180/MT in Q1, about 1.9% off the Q4 2025 low. Early producer increases and firmer ore started the recovery as the downturn bottomed.
Why did the price of Titanium Dioxide change in Q1 2026 in the United States?
Producers opened the year raising prices. Titanium ore firmed off its lows. That was enough to end the 2025 slide.
Titanium Dioxide Prices in China
China recovered about 1.7% to USD 2,420/MT. Post-holiday restocking and a small export-price bounce lifted it from the late-2025 trough.
Why did the price of Titanium Dioxide change in Q1 2026 in China?
Restocking after the holidays firmed demand. Export quotes ticked up. Ample capacity kept the bounce modest.
Titanium Dioxide Prices in Germany
Germany rose roughly 2.0% to USD 3,540/MT. Anti-dumping duties and firmer energy and ore began to lift it after a soft year.
Why did the price of Titanium Dioxide change in Q1 2026 in Germany?
The duties tightened import competition. Energy and ore firmed. Prices recovered off the 2025 low.
Titanium Dioxide Prices in India
India climbed about 1.8% to USD 2,880/MT. Reviving coatings demand and dearer imported feedstock lifted it as construction stirred.
Why did the price of Titanium Dioxide change in Q1 2026 in India?
Coatings demand began to revive. Imported ore and pigment cost more. The market pulled up off its low.
Quarterly Titanium Dioxide Price Trends
The chart here makes a shallow V. Prices softened through 2025 on weak construction and heavy Chinese supply, then turned in 2026 as producers raised numbers and European duties bit. Reading across: USD 2,990/MT in Q2 2025, USD 2,930/MT in Q3, USD 2,890/MT in Q4, then USD 2,940/MT in Q1 2026 and USD 3,020/MT in Q2. That nets to about 1.0%, but the direction is what matters. The building cycle, Chinese supply, and ore costs set the shape.
| Quarter | Price (USD/MT) | QoQ Change | Direction |
| Q2 2026 | 3,020 | +2.7% | ↑ Rising |
| Q1 2026 | 2,940 | +1.7% | ↑ Rising |
| Q4 2025 | 2,890 | -1.4% | ↓ Falling |
| Q3 2025 | 2,930 | -2.0% | ↓ Falling |
| Q2 2025 | 2,990 | - | - Stable |
| Q3 2026 | In Progress | - | - In Progress |
What was Titanium Dioxide Price in 2025?
2025 was a down year. The global average opened near USD 3,050/MT in Q1 and slid to USD 2,890/MT by Q4, off about 5.2%. Soft building activity and export competition leaned on the pigment right up until the 2026 turn.
Titanium Dioxide Prices in the United States in 2025
The US eased from USD 3,290/MT to USD 3,120/MT, roughly 5.2%. Weak architectural coatings demand and cheap imports weighed all year.
Titanium Dioxide Prices in China in 2025
China took the hardest hit, down about 7.0%, USD 2,560/MT to USD 2,380/MT. Heavy capacity and soft exports drove it.
Titanium Dioxide Prices in Germany in 2025
Germany slipped USD 3,620/MT to USD 3,470/MT, near 4.1%. Weak European construction pressured it, though late-year duties limited the drop.
Titanium Dioxide Prices in India in 2025
India fell about 7.5%, USD 3,060/MT to USD 2,830/MT. Soft coatings demand and competitive imports did the damage.
