According to SMM estimates, China's refined bismuth production in April 2026 is expected to increase by less than 1% month-on-month compared to March 2026, indicating a relatively modest growth. In recent months, bismuth output has generally shown a stable but fluctuating trend.

According to customs data, China's bismuth trioxide export volume in March 2026 stood at 1,100.23 metric tons, compared to 753.74 metric tons in February 2026, showing a continued month-on-month increase. Looking at the overall trend in export volumes, from September 2025 onward, China's bismuth trioxide exports have increased almost every month, indicating that domestic exporters remain highly motivated and overseas demand is also rising significantly.
