Future Prospects of Global Laboratory Proficiency Testing Market

Market Overview
Ilmenite is
a titanium-iron oxide mineral that is found in abundance in beach sand.
Ilmenite is converted to pigment grade titanium dioxide using either the
sulphate or chloride processes. The Becher process can be used to enhance and
purify ilmenite in order to produce rutile, a mineral that is used in paints,
plastics, paper, food, and other uses. Ilmenite is primarily found on
Australia's eastern and western coasts; South Africa's Richards Bay; America's
eastern coast; India's Kerala; and Brazil's eastern and southern coasts.
Ilmenite comes in a variety of forms, including Cr-rich picroilmenite, ferrian
ilmenite, and hystatite.
Market Dynamics
White
titanium dioxide pigment is made mostly from ilmenite. It's also utilised in
the production of white and pastel-colored paints, white-walled tyres, glazed
papers, plastics, printed fabrics, and flooring products like linoleum. As a
result, rising demand for paints and coatings is likely to support ilmenite
market growth. The global ilmenite market is predicted to develop in response
to rising demand for paper and plastics.
However,
growing concerns about the negative effects of mining operations are projected
to slow the worldwide
ilmenite market's growth. Furthermore, the International Agency for
Research on Cancer has designated titanium dioxide as a carcinogen (IARC).
These factors are likely to hinder market expansion to some extent.
Market Outlook
The Asia
Pacific region is likely to account for a large market share because to the
rapidly increasing textile and leather industries. In addition, the expanding
production of materials like silk and nylon in countries like India and China
is increasing the demand for acid dyes in this region. Some European and North
American corporations are moving their production operations to Asia Pacific.
Because of the region's strong environmental rules, Europe's growth is likely
to be significantly slower. Because of the harmful intermediaries employed in
its manufacturing process, Acid Red 128, for example, has been prohibited in
Europe. Growing awareness and inclination for environmentally friendly
products, on the other hand, is likely to boost market growth in the region.
Asia Pacific
currently dominates the global ilmenite market and is likely to do so during
the forecast period. This is due to the presence of substantial ilmenite
sources in the area. Ilmenite can be found on Australia's eastern and western
coasts, as well as in India. Due to strong growth in the paints and coatings
industry in countries such as India and China, the market is also predicted to
be the fastest expanding.
Key Players
Shanghai
Yuejiang Titanium Chemical Manufacturer Co., Ltd., Jiangxi Jinshibao Mining
Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Abbott Blackstone, and Yucheng Jinhe
Industrial Co., Ltd. are some of the major competitors in the worldwide
ilmenite market.
