In 2024, Germany dominates the European production of pigments and preparations based on titanium dioxide, excluding those containing more than 80% by weight of titanium dioxide, with a market share of 43.6%. Italy and Belgium follow with significant shares of 20.46% and 20.07%, respectively. Poland, Sweden, and Romania are emerging players despite their smaller shares. Notable year-on-year changes for 2023 include a significant decline in Belgium by 24.64% and Spain by 100%, while Poland experienced an 11.77% increase. Over the last five years, production trends show marginal or negative growth for most countries except Poland.
Looking ahead, potential changes in environmental regulations, increased demand for sustainable products, and technological innovations in the production processes are key trends affecting the European pigment market. Strategic investments in greener technologies may provide competitive advantages to producers adapting to these shifts.
