Low Costs Position DuPont Titanium Technologies for Growth When Global Economy Recovers

Analysts predict that emerging economies will represent 70-80% of future growth in the Titanium Dioxide industry. Although the industry and economy are struggling as a whole, DuPont is in a position to recover quickly. For one, DuPont saw improvement across the board in financial metrics in the first half of 2009 compared to the first half of 2008, due to factors such as a 28% reduction in working capital and a 15% reduction in plant fixed costs. Secondly, DuPont conducts 75% of its business outside of North America, a far cry form 20 years ago, when it was selling 60% of its product in North America.

As a result, analysts predict that DuPont is in a great position to take advantage of emerging economies in the future, making it an attractive stock to buy while costs remain low.
