In November, China's imports of other antimony ores and concentrates continued to rise slightly MoM [SMM Report]

According to customs data released by SMM on December 22, China's imports of other antimony ores and their concentrates in November 2025 reached 3,637.04 mt, a slight increase MoM from the 3,134.77 mt imported in October, remaining above the 3,000 mt mark. Market participants noted that after a recent rise, antimony market prices pulled back slightly but remained significantly higher than the starting point of the rebound. As prices for antimony products in domestic and overseas markets continued to decline, the price spread between domestic and overseas markets narrowed, making the slight increase in antimony ore imports reasonable. However, many market participants indicated that the long-term trend of tight supply for imported antimony raw materials is expected to persist.
