China's October bismuth trioxide exports show slight month-on-month rebound [SMM data]

According to customs data, China exported 610.02 tons of bismuth trioxide in October 2025, showing a slight recovery after two consecutive months of significant decline from September's 411.4 tons. Market analysts noted that, based on the overall export volume trends, China's monthly bismuth oxide exports have generally remained within the range of 700 to 1,000 tons over the past six months. Among these, July's export volume saw an increase compared to the average of the first half of the year, once again surpassing the 1,000-ton mark. However, exports began to decline in August and September, dropping below 500 tons, indicating low export enthusiasm among companies. The export volume of just over 600 tons in October still falls short of the normal range observed over the past six months, further reflecting the current sluggish export performance. Nevertheless, the slight rebound in export volume is a positive sign.
