China's Antimony Oxide Exports Steady at 345.75 Tons in March, Trend Remains Weak

Customs data shows that China's imports of other antimony ores and concentrates reached 9,263.96 metric tons in March 2026, continuing to rise from the February import volume of 6,693.67 metric tons on a month-on-month basis, and surpassing the 9,000-metric-ton mark for the first time in recent years. Market participants stated that given the narrowing price gap between domestic and international markets, the increase in antimony ore imports is reasonable. However, many market participants also indicated that the long-term tight supply trend for imported antimony raw materials is expected to persist in the future.
