In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research phase. CEOs, VPs of Manufacturing, heads of regulatory affairs, and commercial directors from companies that produce titanium dioxide, pigments, and chemicals were examples of supply-side sources. Procurement heads from paint and coatings firms, R&D directors from plastics manufacturers, formulation scientists from personal care companies, and supply chain managers from automakers and manufacturers of building materials were examples of demand-side suppliers. Primary research validated market segmentation, confirmed capacity development timetables, and gathered information on formulation adoption patterns, price tactics, and substitution dynamics.

Global market valuation was derived through production capacity analysis and end-use industry consumption patterns. The methodology included:
Identification of 50+ key manufacturers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America
Product mapping across sulfate process, chloride process, and specialty grade titanium dioxide categories
Analysis of reported and modeled annual revenues specific to titanium dioxide portfolios
Coverage of manufacturers representing 75-80% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (end-use industry consumption × ASP by region) and top-down (manufacturer revenue validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations
