Titanium Health Demand Drives Market Development

Some time ago, as Apple and Xiaomi launched titanium metal mobile phones at new product launches, titanium alloys have become the current innovative trend in consumer electronic materials, and titanium metal is no longer unknown to a few people. But the applications of titanium metal can go far beyond that. For the titanium industry, the opportunity for the development of titanium metal for civilian use has arrived.

1. Say goodbye to "titanium" rarity
Titanium, a silver-white transition metal, is an important natural resource on the earth. Although it is called a rare metal, in fact, the abundance of titanium in the earth's crust is much higher than that of many common metals. It is called "rare" because it is dispersed and difficult to extract.
With the development of technology and policy support, the titanium industry has shown huge room for development, and the road to commercialization of titanium metal has become increasingly smooth. According to data from the China Titanium Industry Development Report, in the past two decades, the output of titanium processing materials in China has shown an overall upward trend, with the annual growth rate of titanium civilian product sales reaching 100% from 2021 to 2023. At the same time, the application fields of titanium materials continue to expand, and the application proportion is also increasing.
On the other hand, the application and publicity of titanium metal by many companies have brought titanium into the public eye. At the 2023 Apple autumn conference, Apple, as a technology giant, launched the iPhone 15 with a titanium frame; Xiaomi launched the xiaomi 14Pro titanium special edition at the 2023 new product conference... On the Weibo platform, about iphone15Pro The number of readings reaches hundreds of millions, and the number of readings about Xiaomi Mi 14Pro reaches millions. It has also been widely exposed on Zhihu, Bilibili, Douyin and other platforms.
2. Pursue "titanium" health
With the steady advancement of the "Healthy China" strategy, national health awareness is gradually rising, and people are paying more and more attention to health. Facing health problems, people have gradually formed a thinking mode of "being prepared for danger in times of peace" and ushered in an era of "focusing on nourishment and supplementing treatment". The superior properties of titanium metal are in line with the health needs of today's era, and it is known as the "metal of the 21st century".
Titanium is a metal that is harmless to the human body, stable, corrosion-resistant, and biophilic. In the human body, it does not produce toxic substances or cause allergies. It is one of the few metals that does not affect human autonomic nerves and taste. When titanium metal comes into contact with air, the oxide film generated on the surface can inhibit the growth of bacteria and achieve the effect of preserving freshness and inhibiting bacteria. At the same time, titanium has a low density and light weight. When reaching the same strength as other metals, the weight of the material used is lighter.
In addition, titanium metal also has a series of advantages such as high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, and non-magnetic properties. These advantages allow titanium metal to gradually replace materials such as heavy metals and become a future development trend.
