Market context

Vietnam consumed approximately 95,000 tons of titanium dioxide in 2025, growing at 10%+ annually. Unlike India's domestic-demand growth, Vietnam's TiO2 consumption is heavily driven by export manufacturing — plastic products for export, paint for export construction packages, and footwear (rubber compound) for global brands manufacturing in Vietnam.

Vietnam has no domestic TiO2 production. The market is fully import-dependent, with China supplying 70%+ of total volume. Other significant suppliers are Taiwan, South Korea, and small volumes from Russia.

Buyer profile

Vietnamese TiO2 buyers cluster around three groups: 1. **Export-oriented manufacturers** — plastic products factories (Binh Duong, Dong Nai industrial parks) supplying global retailers. Pricing-driven; spec must meet end-customer (Walmart, IKEA, Target) requirements. 2. **Vietnamese paint brands** (KOVA, 4 Oranges, expanding Asian Paints presence) — growing tier-1 buyers serving local construction. 3. **Footwear manufacturers** (Nike, Adidas, PUMA contract factories) — use TiO2 in white rubber outsole and EVA midsole compounds.

Regulations & import

Standard import duty 5% (HS 3206.11.00) + 10% VAT. No anti-dumping duty on Chinese TiO2. Vietnam has been a beneficiary of recent trade flow shifts from China — many Chinese manufacturers have set up factories in Vietnam, creating consistent intra-Asia TiO2 demand.
