Antimony Market Analysis
The Antimony Market size is estimated at 96.72 kilotons in 2024, and is expected to reach 104.17 kilotons by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 1.5% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, nationwide lockdowns worldwide, disruption in mining activities and supply chains, production halts, and labor unavailability negatively impacted the antimony market. However, the increasing demand from various applications, such as batteries and ceramics, will likely drive the market during the forecast period.
Over the medium term, increasing demand from PET manufacturers and growing demand from the plastic industry will likely drive the market's growth.
On the flip side, the availability of substitutes for antimony, environmental and health concerns, and supply chain disruptions pose major restraints to the studied market growth.
Recycling of antimony is likely to create opportunities for the market in the coming years.
Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the market and will likely witness the highest annual growth during the forecast period.
Antimony Industry Segmentation
Antimony is a shiny grey chemical element that can exist in metallic and non-metallic forms. The metallic form is brittle, hard, and dazzling silvery-bluish in color, while the non-metallic version of antimony is in grey powder form. Antimony's poor heat and electricity conduction properties make it a preferred choice for semiconductor devices, low-friction metals, batteries, ceramic enamels, flame-proofing materials, and paints.
The antimony market is segmented by type, application, and geography. By type, the market is segmented into metal ingots, antimony trioxide, antimony pentoxide, alloys, and other types. By application, the market is segmented into flame retardants, batteries, ceramics and glass, catalysts, and other applications. The report also covers the market sizes and forecasts for the antimony market in 15 countries across the major regions. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts are done based on volume (tons).

Antimony Market Size Summary
The antimony market is poised for growth, driven by increasing demand from various sectors such as flame retardants, plastics, and electronics. Antimony, a brittle semimetal, is primarily used in the form of compounds like antimony trioxide, which is essential for imparting flame-retardant properties to materials. The market's expansion is supported by the rising need for flame retardants in industries like textiles, paints, and coatings, as well as its application in the automotive sector for enhancing the safety of electronic components. Despite challenges such as environmental concerns and the availability of substitutes, the market is expected to benefit from opportunities in recycling and the recovery of antimony from used products.
The Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to lead the global antimony market, with significant contributions from countries like China and India. The region's dominance is attributed to the robust demand for antimony in various applications, including batteries, ceramics, glass, and catalysts. China's position as a major exporter of textiles and its thriving automotive industry further bolster the demand for antimony-based materials. Additionally, the expansion of production capacities in the paints and coatings sector in India is expected to enhance the market's growth. The market remains partially fragmented, with key players such as Hsikwangshan Twinkling Star Co. Ltd and Yiyang City Huachang Antimony Industry Co. Ltd playing significant roles in shaping its dynamics.
