Drivers – Nano Titanium Dioxide Market
  • Growing uses of nano titanium dioxide across various applications 
  •  
The use of nano titanium dioxide offers various advantages such as high chemical and thermal stability, non-toxicity, high catalytic activity, and resistance to corrosion that makes it suitable product to be used in many applications including photo catalysis, photovoltaic, sensors, hydrogen generators batteries, self-cleaning, and electro chromic devices. Due to these benefits the demand for nano titanium dioxide is growing. Besides, the rise in number of residential and non-residential construction projects in developed and developing regions and increasing demand for anti-corrosive architectural coatings in pigments are also driving the growth of nano titanium dioxide market over the study period. For instance, in April 2017, BASF and Landa Labs announced their strategic long-term partnership at the European Coatings Show (ECS) in Nuremberg, Germany. With this partnership BASF employ Landa’s nano-pigment technology for automotive coatings. Whereas, the growing uses of nano titanium oxide for wastewater treatment in papermaking includes cooking waste liquid, washing wastewater and paper wastewater, which mainly contain a lot of lignin and various phenolic organic compounds is also driving the growth of this market.
 
 
  • Growing awareness about the effects of UV rays among consumers 
  •  
The growing skin care awareness among the consumers in the developed and developing regions from ultraviolet (UV) radiation drive the demand for cosmetics like sunscreens. The sunscreens contain several chemicals designed to protect skin from harmful UV rays and nano titanium dioxide is one of the most important and effective substance used in sunscreens that helps to absorb UV radiation to protect the skin. Furthermore, the growing sunburn and skin cancer cases in the North America and Europe region is also driving the demand for sunscreens containing nano titanium oxides. Nanoparticles of titanium dioxide used in sunscreens remain on the outer layer of skin and are not absorbed into the skin or sub dermal tissues when applied as a cream. For instance, according to The Skin Cancer Foundation report, in the US it is estimated that the melanoma cases diagnosed will increase by almost 2 percent in 2020. Whereas, according to the UK study, it has found that about 86 percent of melanomas can be attributed to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. This growth in melanoma cases across the US is projected to drive the growth of this market during the forecast period.
 
Challenges – Nano Titanium Dioxide Market
  • Nano Titanium Dioxide effect on marine life and environment
  •  
The increased use of nano titanium dioxide across various consumer products, industries, and medical applications has raised concerns regarding the potential exposures and subsequent human health and environmental effects. As nano-TiO2 is one of the main ingredients of sunscreen that acts as a protective against harmful UV rays. But the concentrations used in the sunscreens are harmful for the environment and aquatic organism. Additionally, when the sunscreen chemicals wash off skin and enter waterways becomes environmental hazards and also impacted the marine life such as green algae, coral, mussels, sea urchins, fish, and dolphin. For instance, in August 2018, according to the research study presented at the Goldschmidt Geochemistry Conference in Boston, it was concluded that sunscreen containing titanium dioxide polluting the beaches. In the study the researchers were found that the nanoparticles tend to lose their protective coating under the influence of UV light or seawater composition, which exposes the more toxic titanium dioxide to the aquatic environment. Besides, in May 2019, Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health (MoH) placed restrictions on using titanium dioxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles in cosmetic UV filters.
