According to recent statistics from the Secretariat of the Titanium Dioxide Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance, in 2025, there were 36 full-process titanium dioxide producers in the industry with normal or basically normal production conditions (excluding enterprises solely engaged in post-processing or post-treatment using purchased crude products), a decrease of 9 compared to the previous year. These 36 enterprises produced a total of 4.720 million tons of rutile-type (including sulfuric acid-based full-process crude and finished products, as well as chloride-process products), anatase-type titanium dioxide, and related products, a decrease of 47,000 tons or 1.0% compared to the previous year. This marks the first annual decline in titanium dioxide output in over two decades.

Of the total 4.720 million tons of titanium dioxide and related products, rutile-type products accounted for 4.103 million tons, representing 86.9% of the total output; anatase-type products accounted for 503,000 tons, representing 10.7%; and non-pigment-grade and other types of products accounted for 115,000 tons, representing 2.4%.

Among the total 4.720 million tons of titanium dioxide and related products, chloride-process titanium dioxide output reached 752,000 tons, an increase of 89,000 tons compared to the previous year.

In 2025, chloride-process products accounted for 15.9% of the total titanium dioxide and related products output and 18.3% of the rutile-type titanium dioxide output.

In 2025, a total of 18 enterprises achieved an actual output of 100,000 tons or more, an increase of 3 compared to the previous year.

In 2025, 9 existing producers suspended operations or shut down, while 2 new enterprises (one using the hydrochloric acid process and one using the chloride process) commenced production.

In 2025, the effective production capacity of the entire titanium dioxide industry was 5.70 million tons per year, with an average capacity utilization rate of 82.8%, indicating a medium to low level. However, if calculated based on the comprehensive capacity of 6.10 million tons per year (including suspended or partially suspended capacities), the capacity utilization rate was 77.3%, a relatively low figure reflecting severe overcapacity.
