From an application standpoint, the Titanium Ore market spans titanium dioxide pigment production, titanium metal & alloys, welding fluxes, refractory applications and specialty coatings. For example, titanium metal components rely on high-grade titanium ore feedstock to generate metal ingots and alloys. 
As industries seek materials with higher strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion resistance and durability, demand for titanium metal increases, thereby indirectly supporting the titanium ore market. The broad spread of applications gives the ore sector a resilient base of demand.
