The Ilmenite price trend in 2025 is drawing interest from across several industrial sectors, especially in titanium-related manufacturing. Ilmenite is the most important ore for producing titanium dioxide (TiO?), which is widely used in paints, plastics, paper, cosmetics, and even aerospace materials. As a result, any change in ilmenite’s market behavior directly affects downstream industries that rely on whiteness, brightness, corrosion resistance, and strength.
So far in 2025, ilmenite prices have shown a gradual upward trend, largely due to growing demand from the paints and coatings industry. With construction rebounding in many parts of the world especially in Asia and the Middle East the need for high-performance architectural coatings has risen.
Since titanium dioxide is a key ingredient in such applications, producers are purchasing more ilmenite to meet this growing need. This steady pull from downstream markets is supporting the pricing floor for ilmenite.
