The demand for nanoscale titanium oxide-based opacifiers is increasing in several applications, including sun protection creams and wood preservatives. The growing demand for nanoscale titanium oxide-based opacifiers can be attributed to its improved mechanical, tribological, and optical properties. Moreover, titanium oxide nanoparticles act as photocatalysts as they use light energy to catalyze reactions with other molecules at low temperatures. Nanoscale titanium oxide-based opacifiers are preferred in sun protection creams because of their ability to protect from harmful UV radiation and ease of application. This growing demand for nanoscale titanium-oxide based opacifiers will be one of the critical opacifiers market trends that will have a positive impact on the growth of this global market.

The ability of opacifiers to scatter visible light and offer opacity will boost its demand for paint applications. Opacifiers ensure better reflection and stability and enhance the appearance and durability of paints. With the increasing demand for paints from the construction, automobile, and packaging industries, the need for opacifiers is also bound to grow. The increasing use of paints and coatings will be a significant factor in driving opacifiers market growth at a CAGR of over 6% during the forecast period.
