As one of the urgently needed and scarce mineral species in China, titanium ore supports the development of many strategic emerging industries. Therefore, the summary and research on the current status and the utilization trend of global titanium ore resources are of great significance to the safety of China's mineral resources. This paper collects and organizes the world's titanium resources exploration and research results, and basically clarifies the reserves and distribution of titanium in the world and China. Research shows that China's titanium resource reserve is large, and a complete titanium industry system has been initially established. However, from the perspective of resource quality, China's titanium ore has the characteristics of low grade, high ore mineral processing difficulty, and high external dependence on high-quality titanium resources. With the rapid development of China's high-end manufacturing industry, the consumption demand for high-quality titanium resources will greatly increase. Therefore, it is imperative to strengthen the upgrading of China's titanium ore industry, increase the investigation of high-quality titanium ore, and promote the diversification of the import of high-quality titanium ore raw materials.
