South Korea Titanium Dioxide Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034
Market Report I 2025-06-06 I 112 Pages I EMR Inc.
The South Korea titanium dioxide market reached approximately USD 455.58 Million in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.70% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of around USD 793.08 Million by 2034.
South Korea Titanium Dioxide Market Growth
The growing construction sector and the rising sales of automobiles in the country are two of the crucial factors aiding market growth. The robust growth of the construction sector is supported by rapid urbanisation and a surge in the real estate sector of the country. Titanium dioxide is a key ingredient in paints and coatings and with the increased infrastructure development, its demand is also expected to increase.
With the flourishing automotive sector, titanium dioxide is expected to find increased usage in automotive coatings as it offers resistance against UV rays and maintains the durability of the vehicles. In 2022, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport (MOLIT) announced that EV registration in the country witnessed an increase of around 72.7 per cent year-on-year, which created new opportunities for titanium dioxide paints and coatings in the EV sector.
The expansion of the electronics sector is another crucial factor which aids the titanium dioxide market development. Titanium dioxide coatings find growing applications in electronic devices such as capacitors and semiconductors for their corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant properties. In 2022, South Korea witnessed a foreign investment of USD 3 billion in its electronics sector which is expected to bolster the demand for titanium dioxide.
Furthermore, the titanium dioxide produced in the form of ultrafine product, which is transparent and offers high absorption of ultraviolet light, finds high usage in the sunscreens. It creates a temporary barrier for maximum protection against sun rays and can even prevent skin cancer with regular usage.
