The global Ilmenite market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1216 million in 2025 to US$ 1696 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2025 to 2031.

The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.

Ilmenite is a titanium-iron oxide mineral with the chemical formula FeTiO₃. It is an opaque, black or dark gray mineral that belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system.

The global titanium raw material supply pattern is highly concentrated, and we need to focus on the short-term trends and medium- and long-term plans of the leading mining companies. According to TZMI and Eramet data in 2023, the world's top nine titanium raw material producers account for more than 50% of the total output, including Rio Tinto, Pangang Group, Tronox, Longbai Group, Kenmare, etc. Except Longbai and Pangang, the rest are leading overseas mining giants. In the next few years, the supply of titanium ore from these leading companies and the operating conditions of their mining projects will be the key to influencing global supply. As an upstream link in the industrial chain, titanium ore has significant resource attributes. The titanium industry is mainly divided into two branches: one is the titanium dioxide industry, which starts from ilmenite/rutile mining and is made into titanium dioxide through chemical processing, and is finally used in coatings, plastics, papermaking and other industries; the other is the titanium materials industry, which also starts from ilmenite/rutile mining and produces sponge titanium in the middle reaches, and then processed into various titanium metal products, serving the fields of aerospace, navigation, chemical industry and civil use.
