Market Growth Factors
The increasing use of renewable energy for commercial applications drives rutile consumption. Rutile composite coatings are applied to solar cells to improve their anti-reflective properties and durability, as well as energy production. The global shift to renewable energy production is anticipated to be achieved through changing preferences, government intervention, technological advancement, and decreasing costs of renewable generators. The transition will likely result in an important amount of clean energy production, a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, and less reliance on fossil fuels.
The demand for medical implants and devices, including artificial joints, is driving the market. The biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with body fluids and tissues that rutile can provide minimize adverse reactions and provide reliable, long-lasting performance. Rutile is used in orthopedic, dental and cardiovascular implants to improve patient outcomes, driving market growth.
Due to its properties of strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, rutile is used in automotive and aerospace applications. It is also used in coatings and finishes to improve the durability and appearance of vehicles, and to provide safety in aircraft. The demand for rutile is being driven by increased consumption of advanced lightweight materials that improve fuel economy, performance and safety.
Market Segmentation
