China's annual titanium dioxide production hit an all-time high of 4.16 million tonnes in 2023, an increase of 250,000 tonnes or 6.3% from 2022, according to Titanium Dioxide Industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance.
During the year, the country produced 3.6 million tonnes of rutile titanium dioxide, which accounted for 86.53% of the total production, up by 3.22 percentage points from the previous year. The production of anatase titanium dioxide was 420,000 tonnes, accounting for 10.10% of the total production, 2.3 percentage points lower compared with the prior year. The production of other grades of titanium dioxide totaled 140,000 tonnes, accounting for 3.37% of the total, down by 0.9 percentage points versus a year ago.
In 2023, a total of 692,000 tonnes of titanium dioxide was produced by the chloride process in China, an increase of 195,000 tonnes or 39.33% from 2022. During the year, 16.63% of all titanium dioxide products and 19.22% of rutile titanium dioxide were produced by chloride process, both up significantly from a year ago.
