Titanium
Dioxide Nanomaterials: Introduction
·
Titanium dioxide nanoparticle, also known as ultrafine titanium
dioxide or nanocrystalline titanium dioxide or microcrystalline titanium
dioxide, is a particle of titanium dioxide (TiO2) with diameter less than 100
nm.. The nanoparticles of titanium dioxide are approx. 100 times finer than the
titanium dioxide pigments particles. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are
extensively used as pigments in various applications including sunscreens,
ointments, paints, and toothpastes. Constant research and development has led
to emergence of many potential applications of titanium dioxide nanomaterials in
areas including photovoltaic, photocatalysis, electrochromics, and sensors.
·
Research on titanium dioxide nanomaterials gained significant
traction with the advent of nanotechnology. The manufacture of titanium dioxide
nanomaterials entails a low-cost simple production process. Titanium dioxide
nanomaterials are used in various industrial sectors. They are largely employed
in skincare applications and cosmetics, paints, photovoltaics, and
electrochromics. Furthermore, new physical and chemical properties are known to
emerge as the size of the material becomes smaller. This is expected to boost
the demand for titanium dioxide nanomaterials in the near future.
·
Titanium dioxide is versatile owing to its various forms and
sizes. Demand for titanium dioxides that are being used in the form of
micro-scale pigments or nano-objects has been rising, owing to their usage in a
wide range of applications
·
Titanium dioxide nanomaterials are used as additives that are
further employed to protect surfaces against bacteria and microbial
deterioration and chemical corrosion. They are largely used as white pigments,
owing to their strong light scattering and high incident light reflection
index. Additionally, silver doped titanium dioxide nanomaterials are
extensively employed in marine antifouling, especially while exploring
underwater sites, as they prevent metal hull corrosion.
Key
Drivers and Restraints of Global Titanium Dioxide Nanomaterials Market
·
Titanium dioxide nanomaterials are widely used white pigment
materials in the paints & coatings industry, owing to their UV absorption
and photocatalytic sterilizing properties. They are primarily employed in the
coatings industry, as they efficiently scatter visible light, thereby imparting
whiteness, brightness, and opacity when incorporated into coatings. Titanium
dioxide nanomaterial products are sometimes coated with silica and alumina and
doped with another metal for specific applications in the coatings industry.
Thus, increase in demand for titanium dioxide nanomaterials in the paints &
coatings industry is expected to boost the global
titanium dioxide nanomaterials market during the forecast period.
·
Nanomaterials are primarily used in the cosmetics industry, as
they provide enhanced performance and produce esthetically pleasing results,
such as smooth skin surface and glowing complexion. Nanoparticles offer
potential benefits in the ultrafine form in products such as moisturizers and
sunscreen. Thus, high demand for titanium dioxide nanomaterials in the cosmetic
& personal care sector is estimated to drive the global titanium dioxide
nanomaterials market in the near future. However, these materials are closely
associated with complex diseases. They have also been found to be toxic to
plants and small organisms. This is estimated to hamper the market.
Furthermore, increase in government regulations on the usage of these materials
is projected to adversely affect the titanium dioxide nanomaterials market in
the near future.

Covid-19 Impact on Titanium Dioxide Nanomaterials Market
·
COVID-19 has adversely impacted the global economy in three
major ways: decrease in production and demand, disruption of supply chain, and
adverse financial impact on firms and financial markets
·
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a swift and severe negative impact
on globally integrated industries such as the paints & coatings and
cosmetic & personal care by hampering the supply chain. It is expected to
negatively impact manufacturing, distribution, and supply of titanium dioxide
nanomaterials in the near future.
