China's assessed sodium pyroantimonate production is expected to decline slightly by around 2.3% MoM in July [SMM data]

According to SMM's assessment, the production of first-grade sodium pyroantimonate in China is expected to decline slightly by around 2.3% MoM in July 2025. After experiencing significant fluctuations in production for several consecutive months, the production of first-grade sodium pyroantimonate in China has seen a slight pullback again following a rebound in June, prompting many market participants to marvel at the ever-changing market dynamics. However, many market participants consider this a normal phenomenon, as traditionally July-August is the off-season for orders from PV glass plants. The reduction in production by many manufacturers in July is also related to the decrease in orders, and it remains uncertain whether this situation will persist into August. From a detailed data perspective, among SMM's 13 surveyed entities, 3 manufacturers were in a state of shutdown or commissioning in July, while 4 sodium pyroantimonate manufacturers experienced a certain increase in production, but 3 manufacturers also saw a significant decline in production. Consequently, this has led to a slight decline in the overall production of first-grade sodium pyroantimonate in China in July. Market participants anticipate that the possibility of a significant decline in the national production of sodium pyroantimonate in August compared to July is relatively small, with a greater likelihood of it remaining stable or continuing to decline slightly.

Note: Since July 2023, SMM has been publishing its assessed production of sodium pyroantimonate nationwide. Benefiting from SMM's high coverage rate of the antimony industry, SMM has surveyed a total of 13 sodium pyroantimonate producers, distributed across 6 provinces nationwide, with a total sample capacity exceeding 86,000 mt and a total capacity coverage rate as high as 99%.
