Approximate Percentage of TiO2 Sales by Volume for Segments | The table below shows the approximate percentage of our TiO2 sales by volume for our significant markets, Europe and North America, for the last three years.
|  | 2013 |  |  | 2014 |  |  | 2015 |
Europe |  |  | 49 | % |  |  | 50 | % |  |  | 52 | %
North America |  |  | 33 | % |  |  | 33 | % |  |  | 29 | %
Future Minimum Payments Under Non-cancellable Operating Leases | We also lease various other manufacturing facilities and equipment. Some of the leases contain purchase and/or various term renewal options at fair market and fair rental values, respectively. In most cases we expect that, in the normal course of business, such leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Net rent expense approximated $15.8 million in 2013, $16.6 million in 2014 and $16.1 million in 2015. At December 31, 2015, future minimum payments under non-cancellable operating leases having an initial or remaining term of more than one year were as follows:
Years ending December 31, |  | Amount |
|  | (In millions) |
2016 |  | $ | 11.4 |
2017 |  |  | 8.2 |
2017 |  |  | 5.1 |
2018 |  |  | 4.4 |
2019 |  |  | 3.6 |
2020 and thereafter |  |  | 23.6 |
Total (1) |  | $ | 56.3 |
(1) | Approximately $14 million of the $56.3 million aggregate future minimum rental commitments at December 31, 2015 relates to Kronos’ Leverkusen facility lease discussed above. The minimum commitment amounts for such lease included in the table above for each year through the 2050 expiration of the lease are based upon the current annual rental rate as of December 31, 2015. As discussed above, any change in the rent is based solely on negotiations between Bayer and Kronos, and any such change in the rent is deemed “contingent rentals” under GAAP which is excluded from the future minimum lease payments disclosed above.
