In China, antimony prices moved upward through Q1 2026, driven primarily by persistent supply tightness and gradual recovery in downstream demand. The global supply base remained highly concentrated, with total mine production estimated at around 100,000 metric tonnes in 2025, while China accounted for roughly 55–60% of global output, reinforcing its dominant role in controlling availability. Domestic ore supply remained constrained despite increased imports, as annual inflows were insufficient to offset declining mine grades and stricter environmental regulations that limited operating rates. Import volumes of antimony ore and concentrates rose toward the end of the previous year, yet overall supply conditions remained tight.
Supply-side constraints were further reinforced by limited overseas production growth and slow capacity additions, keeping the global supply gap intact. Although inflows from Southeast Asia increased during the quarter, they only partially eased domestic shortages without altering the tight supply structure. On the demand side, flame retardants continued to account for the largest share of consumption, while photovoltaic glass demand provided steady support, though procurement remained largely need-based. Export activity for antimony oxide showed recovery trends, supporting overall demand stability, even as seasonal disruptions temporarily slowed trade flows.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, antimony prices in China are expected to remain firm with slight fluctuations, supported by continued supply constraints and stable downstream demand, though limited purchasing momentum may cap sharper increases.

The antimony market in 2025 followed a pronounced “surge–correction–high fluctuation” pattern, driven by structural supply tightness and evolving demand dynamics. Early in the year, prices surged due to tightening mining quotas in China, reduced imports of antimony concentrates, and simultaneous stockpiling from the photovoltaic sector, where antimony is a critical input for solar glass production. This was further intensified by a widening global supply-demand gap and declining ore availability, as environmental restrictions, mine closures, and resource depletion constrained output, particularly in key producing regions such as Hunan and Guangxi. Imports into China dropped significantly, reinforcing raw material shortages and amplifying volatility. However, from Q2 onward, prices corrected amid a temporary demand slowdown, especially due to destocking in photovoltaic glass and weaker consumption in antimony oxide applications. Regionally, North America maintained a firm tone supported by rising industrial production, defense demand, and renewable energy transition trends, alongside constrained supply from global production declines and export restrictions. In contrast, Europe experienced downward pressure in Q4 as energy costs eased and Chinese export licenses improved supply availability, while construction weakness offset gains from automotive recovery. Across Asia, particularly China, improved manufacturing activity and industrial output toward year-end supported a rebound, although weak consumer sentiment and deflationary pressures limited stronger momentum. Overall, persistent supply constraints, shifting trade flows, and demand variability drove elevated yet volatile market conditions throughout the year.
Antimony is a silvery- bluish- white brittle, and flaky-looking solid metalloid. It occurs naturally as a sulfide mineral stibnite. It is non-reactive towards cold water and cold acids but dissolves in hot acids and aqua regia. It has applications in the manufacture of semiconductors and batteries and as a flame retardant.

In the production of antimony, Stibnite is firstly concentrated via grinding, milling, floatation and gravity separation of the ores, followed by volatilization, where Stibnite is oxidized, and the collected fumes are then reduced into the metal antimony.
