China's imports of other antimony ores and concentrates continued to rise slightly in November 【SMM Report】

On December 22, SMM reported that according to customs data, China's imports of other antimony ore and its concentrates in November 2025 amounted to 3,637.04 tons. Compared to the import volume of 3,134.77 tons in October, this represents a continued slight month-on-month increase, remaining above the 3,000-ton threshold. Market participants noted that although antimony prices have recently experienced a slight decline after an upward trend, they remain significantly higher than the starting point of the price rebound. As domestic and international antimony prices continue to fall, the price gap between domestic and international markets has narrowed, making the slight increase in antimony ore imports a reasonable trend. However, many market participants believe that the long-term tight supply of imported antimony raw materials is expected to persist.
