According to customs data, China's antimony oxide exports in December 2025 reached 382.25 mt. On a monthly basis, exports increased significantly by 26.57% MoM from 302 mt in November. Although the current volume remains relatively low compared to normal export levels, many market participants indicate that antimony oxide exports have shown a marked improvement since November, following several months of exports hovering around several hundred mt. By December, antimony oxide exports continued to rise steadily, reflecting a strengthening willingness to export across the industry chain. While full-year antimony oxide exports for this year are expected to be substantially lower than last year, if overall antimony oxide exports begin to recover, it will have a positive impact on market confidence regarding antimony prices in 2026.

Airstrike Hits Myanmar Mining Site, Disrupting Antimony Production and Forcing Miners to Flee

According to a report by the Burma News International (BNI) on May 4, 2026, a mining site near Three Pagoda Pass (the Three Pagodas area) in Myanmar was recently hit by an airstrike. Miners have fled to the town of Three Pagodas for shelter, and mining operations have been forced to halt. Informed market sources suggest that the Three Pagodas area primarily produces lead and antimony ore. Given the current situation, resuming antimony production after a ceasefire could take a considerable amount of time. Moreover, the challenges facing mining operations are not limited to the impact of war and the upcoming rainy season — they may also include shortages of fuel and explosives.

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

According to customs data, China's antimony oxide export volume in March 2026 stood at 345.75 metric tons. On a month-on-month basis, this showed little change compared to the February export volume of 379.8 metric tons. Many market participants noted that China's antimony oxide exports have remained at a level of a few hundred metric tons per month over the past several months, with no significant improvement in the export trend. This also reflects a lack of strong willingness to export along the industrial chain. It is anticipated that the total antimony oxide export volume for the full year will be significantly lower than last year on a month-on-month basis.
