This report provides a techno-economic evaluation of the titanium dioxide industry, including a review of recent technology developments by leading producers (DuPont, Cristal, Tronox, Kronos, Huntsman and Sachtleben). Also provided are cost of production estimates for the United States, Western Europe and China, as well as a comprehensive market review (including capacity and supply/demand/trade forecasts). Key downstream developments (e.g. paint formulation and nano-titanium dioxide applications) are also discussed.

Carbon Black production technologies, feedstock and process economics are discussed and evaluated.  Detailed process economics for a selection of commercial ASTM N carbon black grades and specialty blacks such as acetylene and thermal blacks are provided.  Global and regional supply, demand and trade is given.

This report presents a comprehensive review of the key commercial MMA technologies and emerging bio-based routes. Regional economics have been developed for MMA technologies in the United States, Western Europe, Japan, and Singapore.  Additionally, MMA supply and demand has been developed for the major global regions.

Acrylonitrile/Butadiene/Styrene production processes have been reviewed.  Process economics on a USGC and China basis have been developed for emulsion, bulk(mass), hybrid (emulsion/mass), and compounding.  Regional supply/demand is included as well as a global summary.
