Sourced & EmpiricalEmpirical intelligence on titanium production concentration, sovereign trade controls, and import reliance.
How concentrated is global mine production of titanium?▼
Global titanium extraction is moderately concentrated with a Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) of 1,916. The leading producer is China, representing 34% of global mine output, with 12 countries reporting commercial production, based on USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries (MCS 2026).
Which jurisdictions enforce export controls or bans on titanium?▼
There are 1 documented sovereign export control regimes affecting titanium trade corridors: Vietnam (Vietnam maintains an export ban covering Raw materials of iron, lead-zinc, chromite, manganese, apatite, and rare earths and deeply processed titanium (2012), as compiled by the USGS from official and reported sources effective January 2026.).
What is the net import reliance and critical supply vulnerability for titanium?▼
US net import reliance for titanium is recorded at 88%, with primary foreign supply originating from South Africa, Canada, Madagascar, Mozambique. It is classified as an essential strategic mineral across US and Indian criticality lists.
