China's September Imports of Other Antimony Ores and Concentrates Fell Sharply Month-on-Month (SMM Report)

SMM October 21 News: According to customs data, China's import volume of other antimony ores and their concentrates in September 2025 was 1,657.3 tons. This represents a significant decrease compared to the 4,376.92 tons imported in August, falling back below the 2,000-ton mark. Market participants indicated that antimony market prices have not yet stabilized, and given the substantial price disparity between domestic and international antimony products, the sharp decline in antimony ore imports is understandable. The long-term trend of tight supply for imported antimony raw materials is expected to persist. Consequently, in the short term, widespread production halts and output reductions among many manufacturers in the market are likely to continue.
