Best Titanium Stocks to Buy in 2025

Titanium stocks are equities that have significant exposure to titanium production. Whether used in its pure form or as titanium dioxide, titanium is a metal vital to various businesses. From the healthcare industry, which uses the metal in the manufacturing of prosthetic limbs, to the aerospace and defense industries, which use titanium in aircraft and weapons, titanium is found in a wide swath of industrial applications. But that's not all. Everyday products from cosmetics to house paints also rely on titanium dioxide.

Undeniably, titanium is used in a broad number of capacities, making it a metal stock worthy of consideration for investors -- especially in light of its increasing demand. Market research firm Precedence Research estimates the global titanium market will be valued at $30.4 billion in 2025 and forecasts it to rise at a compound annual growth rate of 6.5% through 2034, when it's expected to rise to $53.7 billion.

Dividing its business into two operating segments, ATI (ATI -0.77%) produces various high-performance materials, components, and advanced metallic powder alloys in its High Performance Materials and Components segment, while its Advanced Alloy and Solutions segment provides flat products to energy, aerospace, and defense industry customers, with titanium present in both segments.

Through the first three quarters of 2025, sales of titanium and titanium-based alloys accounted for 18% of the company's revenue. This was notably less than the nickel-based alloys and specialty alloys business that represented 47% of the company's 2024 sales, but this shouldn't prevent titanium investors from considering shares of ATI. Rather, it should appeal to investors who want to strengthen their portfolios with titanium exposure but who are similarly interested in mitigating the risk of a downturn in the titanium market.

Although ATI provides materials to multiple industries, the aerospace and defense businesses are the company's largest customers, accounting for about 70% of the company's total sales in the third quarter of 2025. For people considering a position in ATI, it's important to recognize that the aerospace industry is cyclical, and investors should be prepared to experience the occasional turbulence in the industry's ups and downs.

The company is making a more concerted effort to grow its titanium business. In its 2024 annual report, the company stated that when the expansion of operations at its Richland, Wash., facility is at full production, the total titanium melt capacity is projected to be 80% greater than its 2022 titanium melt capacity.

2. Chemours

Although Chemours (CC -3.94%) provides thermal management solutions and several performance materials, titanium figures prominently in the company's identity. Since 1949, Chemours has operated a titanium mine in Florida, and it added to its asset portfolio in 2019 with the acquisition of a titanium mine in Georgia. While the company's mines contribute about 10% of its ore feedstock requirements, Chemours acknowledges that it has the option to expand operations to increase the ore feedstock.

Through its titanium technologies segment, Chemours serves about 500 customers worldwide with more than 20 different grades of titanium dioxide pigment, customized for various applications, including house paint, coated paper, and plastic packaging. Chemours manufactures its titanium dioxide pigments at four production facilities located in the United States, Mexico, and Taiwan.

Although it's involved in the production of numerous materials, titanium accounts for the majority of the company's revenue. Through the first two quarters of 2025, for example, Chemours reported that its total titanium technologies business represented 42% of net sales -- the next largest was the thermal and specialized solutions business, which represented 36% of sales during the same time period.

In addition to its position as a leading titanium dioxide producer, investors interested in growing their passive income streams will also be attracted to Chemours. Currently, Chemours offers a forward dividend yield of 2.6%.

True to its name, Kronos Worldwide (KRO -5.07%) is a titanium dioxide producer with a considerable global presence that's demonstrated in several ways. For one, Kronos Worldwide has titanium dioxide production facilities in several countries, including Germany, Belgium, Norway, Canada, and the United States.

Additionally, the company reports that the majority of its sales were made in North America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. It has more than 3,000 customers overall in more than 100 countries. This leading position didn't occur overnight. Kronos Worldwide can trace its history back to 1916, when it claims to have developed the first commercial process for titanium dioxide production.

Further strengthening its industry-leading position, Kronos Worldwide, which initially held a 50% joint venture interest in Louisiana Pigment Company (LPC), acquired the remaining 50% interest in July 2024. As a wholly owned subsidiary of Kronos Worldwide, LPC provides an estimated 78,000 metric tons annually of titanium dioxide production volume, helping serve the North American market.

Unlike diversified companies that produce various materials, Kronos Worldwide is narrowly focused on its titanium dioxide business. Titanium dioxide accounted for 90% of the company's net sales in 2024 -- something that should appeal to people looking for greater titanium exposure in a single investment.

Along with Chemours, Kronos Worldwide is a titanium stock that will appeal to income investors. Shares currently offer a forward yield of about 4.1%.
