Antimony Global Market Report 2026

Antimony is a semi-metallic chemical element characterized by its silvery-white appearance and toxic properties. Exhibiting adeptness as a conductor of both heat and electricity, it showcases resilience against diluted acids or alkalis and remains stable in dry air. Found naturally in the environment, antimony exists in two distinct forms such as metallic antimony, distinguished by its bright, silvery, hard, and brittle nature, and non-metallic antimony, which manifests as a gray powder.

The report encompasses several key types of antimony, including antimony trioxide, antimony pentoxide, alloys, metal ingots, and other variations. Antimony finds diverse applications across multiple sectors, notably in flame retardants, plastic additives, lead-acid batteries, and the production of glass and ceramics, among other uses. Additionally, the end-user industries for antimony span across the chemical, automotive, electrical and electronics sectors, and various other industries.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the antimony market by increasing import costs of antimony compounds and metal ingots, leading to higher production costs in flame retardant, battery, and plastic additive applications. Asia-Pacific regions, especially china and india, which are major producers and consumers, are most affected. Segments like lead-acid batteries, electrical & electronics, and glass and ceramics face significant cost pressures. However, tariffs have encouraged local sourcing, boosted domestic production, and driven innovation in high-purity and sustainable antimony products.

The antimony market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.94 billion in 2025 to $5.26 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing demand for antimony trioxide in flame retardants, increasing use in lead-antimony alloys, rising consumption in glass and ceramics, expansion of automotive battery production, adoption in chemical manufacturing.

The antimony market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.65 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to shift towards sustainable and recyclable antimony products, increasing demand in electrical and electronics applications, growth in high-purity antimony ingots, rising use in advanced plastic and polymer applications, expansion of specialty antimony compounds and mining by-products. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for flame retardant applications, growing adoption in lead-acid battery manufacturing, increasing use in plastic additives and polymer enhancement, expansion of antimony usage in glass and ceramics industry, rising focus on high-purity and recyclable metal ingots.

The growing demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the expansion of the antimony market in the coming years. Electric vehicles, which are powered by electricity stored in batteries or fuel cells, use antimony in the production of lead-acid batteries and for other indirect applications in various components. For example, in 2024, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental energy organization, reported that nearly 14 million new electric cars (BEV + PHEV) were registered globally in 2023, marking a 35% increase compared to 2022. As a result, the rising demand for electric vehicles is fueling the growth of the antimony market.

Major players within the antimony market are actively pursuing investments and funding initiatives to fortify their positions within the industry. These investments involve the allocation of financial resources, typically in the form of capital, to bolster specific projects, businesses, or strategic endeavors. For instance, in August 2023, Perpetua Resources Corp., a prominent US-based mining company, secured an Ordnance Technology Initiative Agreement (OTIA) potentially valued at up to $15.5 million. This agreement, obtained through the Department of Defense (DoD) under the Prototype Other Transaction (OT) authority, was facilitated via the DoD Ordnance Technology Consortium (DOTC).

In April 2024, Korea Zinc, a South Korea-based manufacturer and seller of non-ferrous metals, acquired Kataman Metals for $55 million. This acquisition is expected to enhance the company's recycling and resource circulation initiatives by providing access to a specialized platform. Moreover, it will link them with expert traders who possess a broader and more diverse network of scrap metal feedstock sources. Kataman Metals is a US-based supplier of antimony products.
