According to SMM assessment, China's refined bismuth production in August 2026 is expected to edge up about 1.5% MoM from July. Market participants believe such an increase is within a reasonable range. Overall, market supply remains basically stable, and the market is waiting for the arrival of the September-October peak season.
Note: Since October 2022, SMM has published its assessed national refined bismuth production. Thanks to SMM's high coverage rate of the bismuth industry, SMM's survey covers a total of 24 refined bismuth producers across 8 provinces in China, with total sample capacity exceeding 50,000 mt and a total capacity coverage rate of over 99%.
