Antimony price soaring, market clouds and changes! In-depth understanding of the reasons behind the recent rapid rise in domestic antimony prices, to grasp the market dynamics, explore the future trend of the antimony market.
Antimony is an important industrial raw material, widely used in military, aerospace, flame retardant and photovoltaic fields. However, constrained by mine safety and other factors, domestic antimony mining volume has basically stabilized in recent years, unable to meet downstream demand. And imported mines are also facing uncertainty, it is difficult to make up for the gap between domestic supply and demand.
In 2024, antimony trioxide saw a significant increase in price, due to a combination of several key factors. First, the rise in antimony prices was closely related to the trend of tight raw material supply. According to Shanghai Nonferrous Network, at the end of 2023, the domestic antimony ingot market price has obviously started to rise, including the price of antimony oxide, especially the export price has also recovered.In November 2023, China's imports of other antimony ores and their concentrates dropped sharply from the same period of the previous year, which showed the tight raw material supply situation.
