Oct. 28, 2025
In addition to wide applications in the new energy field, titanium anodes are rapidly penetrating multiple important industrial fields such as water treatment, copper foil manufacturing, and chlor-alkali industry by virtue of their unique performance advantages, demonstrating broad market prospects and huge development potential.
In the water treatment industry, titanium anodes have become the core components of electrochemical water treatment technology. According to industry survey data, the global market size of titanium anodes for water treatment reached tens of billions of yuan in 2024 and will maintain steady growth in the coming years. In application scenarios such as wastewater treatment, drinking water disinfection, and seawater desalination, titanium anodes generate oxidants through electrochemical reactions or directly decompose pollutants through electrolysis, achieving efficient and environmentally friendly water purification. Compared with traditional chemical addition methods, this technical path has better process control and environmental friendliness.
According to different water quality treatment and process requirements, titanium anodes for water treatment can be divided into various types such as platinum coating, ruthenium-iridium coating, and iridium-tantalum coating. Different manufacturers have formed a differentiated competition pattern in the market by virtue of their respective technical advantages and product characteristics. International professional manufacturers and domestic environmental technology companies are actively deploying in this field, promoting the continuous improvement of industry technical standards.
In the copper foil manufacturing field, titanium anodes also play an irreplaceable role. As key raw materials for lithium batteries and printed circuit boards, the production quality of copper foil directly affects the performance of final products. As core consumables in the electrolytic copper foil production process, the performance of titanium anodes directly affects the quality and production cost of copper foil. For the high current density and complex electrolyte conditions in copper foil production, the industry has developed specialized products such as pull-back titanium anodes and embedded titanium anodes to meet specific requirements of different application scenarios.
With the vigorous development of the global lithium battery industry, especially the rapid growth in demand for power batteries and energy storage batteries, the market for titanium anodes for lithium battery copper foil has experienced explosive growth. Professional titanium anode manufacturing enterprises have established leading positions in this segment by virtue of technological accumulation and market expansion, promoting continuous optimization of product performance and continuous reduction of production costs.
In the traditional chlor-alkali industry field, titanium anodes still maintain stable market demand. In the process of electrolyzing salt water to produce chlorine, hydrogen, and caustic soda, titanium anodes have comprehensive advantages over traditional graphite anodes, such as low energy consumption, long service life, and high product purity. Industry reports show that the global market size of mixed metal oxide titanium anodes was close to $900 million in 2024 and is expected to reach over $1.4 billion by 2031, maintaining an impressive compound annual growth rate during this period.
It is worth noting that with increasingly strict global environmental requirements and continuous upgrading of industrial processes, the application boundaries of titanium anodes are constantly expanding. In emerging fields such as electroplating, electrochemical synthesis, and cathodic protection, titanium anodes are gaining more and more application opportunities by virtue of their efficient, environmentally friendly, and energy-saving characteristics. This cross-field penetration and expansion brings new growth momentum and development space for the titanium anode industry, and also promotes the entire industry to develop towards higher quality and efficiency.
