Open trade policy and supply chain resilience facilitate antimony products trade between China and its trade partners. Antimony has been identified as one critical raw material in major economies due to its economic significance and high supply risks.
The measured value (γ) of this study is 0.813, which is significant at the 1% level. The variable value (η) of the test results is positive, which indicates that the antimony products trade efficiency has been improved in China over the past decade.
On August 14, China announced export restrictions on antimony in the country’s latest move to restrict critical mineral shipments globally in the name of national security.
China's global exports of antimony are now just a third of levels seen this time last year. Christensen said U.S. companies are hugely reliant on China for their supply of antimony and buyers are increasingly having to procure from an emerging "grey market", where sellers that have stocked up on the material are charging extremely high prices.
Project Blue director Nils Backeberg said there is enough antimony outside China to satisfy non-Chinese demand but buyers need to compete with Chinese purchasers such as the country's huge solar industry, and China's smelters are able to offer better terms.
Global demand for antimony is expected to rise sharply in the coming years, particularly as renewable energy and defense sectors expand. Analysts predict that its market value could grow significantly, driven by advancements in solar technology, energy storage, and defense applications.
