Antimony Market Outlook 2031
The global antimony market size was valued at USD 2 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 2.85 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising use of antimony in plastic additives applications, rapid industrialization, recycling of antimony, and growing demand for electric vehicles in various end-user industries.
Antimony is the metallic chemical element that belongs to the nitrogen group and it exits in various allotropic forms. It comes chiefly as the gray sulfide mineral stibnite, which is the basic mineral from that antimony can be obtained.
Antimony is silvery, lustrous, bluish white in solid state, which is very brittle and also has the flaky texture. Antimony ores are mixed with different metals to obtain antimony alloys and oxides. Antimony is toxic by ingestion and inhalation that can burn and emit toxic fumes if exposed or heated to flames.
It is a poor conductor of electricity and heat, due to which it is mainly used in manufacturing of the semiconductor devices such as, batteries, flame proofing materials, infrared detectors & diodes, ceramic enamels & paints, and low friction metals.
Antimony Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Rising demand for fire safety regulations is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
- The exploration of new developed antimony reserves is major factor boosting the market expansion.
- Environmental and health hazards due to exposure of antimony are estimated to restrict the market growth in the coming years.
- Overcoming geo political tensions acts as key challenge that can impede the market expansion.
- R&D investment and technological advancement in antimony is anticipated to offer significant opportunities for the market players.

Antimony Market Segment Insights
Types Segment Analysis
Based on types, the global Antimony market is divided into antimony trioxide, alloys, antimony pentoxide, metal ingot, and others. The antimony trioxide segment is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to high usage in plastic additives, flame retardant, glass, ceramics, and pigment applications. Majorly, 70% of the produced antimony is consumed globally in the form of antinomy trioxide.
Applications Segment Analysis
On the basis of applications, the market is segmented into lead acid batteries, fiberglass composites, flame retardant, alloy strengthening agent, catalyst, and others.
The flame retardant segment is expected to represent a key share of the market in the coming years due to highly used for reducing hazardous effect of fire mishaps. The flame retardant are mainly used in mattresses, plastics, wiring, furniture, fabrics, and circuit boards. It helps to stop fire by coming in contact with the fire cycle in gaseous state and also stop the chemical chain reaction.
On the other hand, the lead acid batteries segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to its requirement in different parts of the battery where corrosion resistance, strength, and creep resistance are needed. They are majorly used in various countries in the automotive batteries.
Regional Outlook
On the basis of regions, the global Antimony market is categorized as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market of Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at an impressive CAGR during the forecast period.
The regional market growth can be attributed to increasing demand for plastic additives, flame retardant, and automotive acid lead battery application. The demand for antimony is growing in various industries including electronics, chemicals, transportation, cosmetics, and food & beverages in the region.
