TZMI releases new pigment-focused periodical - Pigment Industry Annual Review |
|
(Nanowerk News) Pigment Industry Annual Review (PAR) is TZMI Group's (TZMI)'s third industry study dedicated to over viewing the global titanium pigment market. The initiation of this pigment-focused report, this time planned as an annual periodical, extends beyond the scope of TZMI's flagship Mineral Sands Annual Review to carefully examine the structure and market dynamics of the global titanium pigment industry. | |
TZMI released its first publication on the titanium pigment industry jointly with Artikol of the UK in October 1997. TiO2 Pigment – A Dynamic Global Industry quickly became an essential reference of the sector in an era not dominated by internet-based market research. So well known was this initial study, and its second edition The Global TiO2 Pigment Industry (published in May 2001), that they became known simply as "the green books". The green book was essential reading for all new employees within the sector. | |
TZMI is forecasting demand in Western Europe to increase to 1,261 million tonnes by 2015, a CAGR of 2.2% Since 2001 there has been no revision of the green book by TZMI and Artikol. In the ensuing period, TZMI further developed its own in house TiO2 pigment expertise, progressively developing both its publications and consulting business capabilities. Now as an authority on the subject of titanium dioxide pigment, TZMI presents its own views, numbers and forecasts within this publication, contrasting against alternative publically available information. | |
TZMI has become globally recognised as the leading independent titanium and mineral sands consulting and publishing authority. As a specialist organisation, it is continually advising new market entrants, current participants and financial firms on the intricate aspects of this opaque sector. | |
Several key features have emerged in the preparation of this document. These include: | |
|
|
The full extent of the changing forces in the industry will be felt as 2010 unfolds, so the publication is most timely in seeking to put all these items into perspective. In most growth markets for TiO2 products, the Global Financial Crisis of 2008/09 is a past memory, while in other more mature markets the demand outlook is still somewhat conservative. | |
This report is intended to become the recognised annual review of the global TiO2 pigment sector. The content is structured as a combination of data presentation, interpretation and analysis, inter-dispersed with some historical references to give the reader a context from which to draw their own perceptions. Where appropriate, TZMI includes its own forecasts for key industry data. | |
PAR was published in June 2010. Enquiries regarding subscription should be emailed to Machiel Keegel at mkeegel(at)tzmi(dot)com. |
