Antimony is a strategic small metal with strong resource scarcity. It is called “industrial monosodium glutamate” and is widely used in industrial and military fields such as flame retardants, batteries and lead alloys, glass, ceramics, chemicals, catalysts, etc. CICC Research pointed out that in the long run, the tight global antimony supply and demand pattern will continue, and the antimony price center is expected to move upwards. Benefiting from the continued growth of new photovoltaic installed capacity and the improvement in the penetration rate of double glass modules, the amount of antimony used in photovoltaic glass is expected to continue to grow. The implementation of the old-for-new policy is expected to drive the growth of demand for electrical equipment, etc., thus driving the use of antimony in the field of flame retardants. Increase in amount. Against the background of rigid global antimony ore supply, it is estimated that the antimony supply and demand gap from 2024 to 2027 will be-0.9,-1.3,-1.1, and-14,000 tons respectively, accounting for-6%,-8%,-6% and-9% of demand.
