About Antimony
Editorial overviewWhat is antimony?
Antimony is a brittle, silvery metalloid used mainly in flame-retardant compounds and lead alloys. It is typically produced as a primary metal/oxide stream and also recovered as a secondary product from lead smelting and battery recycling.
How antimony is priced
Antimony has no listed futures on any regulated exchange. Physical antimony (mainly Mineral 99.65% ingot and trioxide) is traded over the counter; daily spot prices are published by benchmark administrators Fastmarkets, Argus Metals and S&P Global Platts, plus the Chinese domestic Shanghai Metals Market. China’s export licensing rules announced in 2024–2025 affect spot pricing globally.
Where antimony comes from
According to USGS MCS 2026 antimony, the largest 2025e mine producers were China (40,000 t), Russia (32,000 t), Tajikistan (22,000 t), Bolivia (5,000 t), and Australia (1,300 t). The same USGS table shows world mine production of 110,000 t and world reserves of more than 2,000,000 t antimony content, so the reserves-to-production cover is about 18 years. Full breakdown in the production and reserves sections.
Who produces antimony
USGS identifies China as the dominant state producer, with important output also from Russia, Tajikistan, Bolivia, and Australia in 2025e. In the U.S., USGS MCS 2026 antimony says one company began mining in Montana in 2025 and one company produced primary antimony metal and oxide there using imported feedstock. Full list of producers below.
What antimony is used for
In the United States, USGS MCS 2026 antimony says antimony is used 49% in metal products including flame retardants, 40% in antimonial lead and ammunition, and 11% in nonmetal products including ceramics, glass, and rubber. The same source says recycling supplied 12% of estimated domestic apparent consumption, with the rest met by imports.
Key facts about antimony supply
- USGS MCS 2026: world mine production was 110,000 t in 2025e, while world reserves were more than 2,000,000 t, implying about 18 years of reserve cover.
- USGS MCS 2026: China produced 40,000 t in 2025e, or about 36% of world output.
- USGS MCS 2026: U.S. net import reliance was 91% of apparent consumption in 2025e.
- USGS MCS 2026: recycling supplied 12% of estimated U.S. apparent consumption, mostly from antimonial lead recovered at secondary lead smelters.
- USGS MCS 2026: the average antimony price was $25 per pound in 2025, more than double the 2024 average of $10.24 per pound.
