IN THE NEWSAntimony is an element which is semi-metallic, hard and brittle. It is lustrous grey or silver colored and occurs in nature as sulfide mineral stibnite. Antimony is used to make semiconductor devices including infrared detectors and diodes and hence its usage in the electrical industry. It is also alloyed with other metals, such as lead and tin, to improve their strength and hardness. As a result, it is used for toughening solders, bullets cable sheathing and plain bearings and also to improve the rigidity of lead-alloy plates in lead-acid batteries. It is added to halogen containing flame retardants too.
The global antimony market is estimated to garner noteworthy revenue by the end of 2031 by growing at a CAGR of ~7% over the forecast period, i.e., 2022 – 2031. Further, the market generated remarkable revenue in the year 2021. Higher utilization of antimony in battery manufacturing is anticipated to be one of the major growth drivers of the market. For instance, the global demand for batteries was estimated to be approximately 180 GWh in 2020 and is further anticipated to reach more than 1,900 GWh by 2030.

The global antimony market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into alloys and trioxides, out of which, the trioxides segment is anticipated to hold a notable share in the global antimony market during the forecast period on account of its higher utilization in pigments, ceramics, as a flame-proofing agent, staining of copper and iron. Antimony trioxides are also utilized in the decolorizing of glass. For instance, the revenue of the dyes and pigments industry is projected to reach about USD 1100 million by the year 2015.
The chemical industry is a major component of the economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2020, for the U.S., the value added by chemical products as a percentage of GDP was around 1.9%. Additionally, according to the World Bank, the Chemical industry in the U.S. accounted for 16.43% of manufacturing value-added in 2018. With the growing demand from end-users, the market for chemical products is expected to grow in the future. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), the sales of chemicals are projected to almost double from 2017 to 2030. In the current scenario, Asia Pacific is the largest chemical producing and consuming region. China has the world’s largest chemical industry, which accounted for annual sales of approximately more than USD 1.5 trillion, or about more than one-third of global sales, in recent years. Additionally, a vast consumer base and favorable government policies have boosted investment in China’s chemical industry. The easy availability of low-cost raw materials & labor, as well as government subsidies and relaxed environmental norms, have served as a production base for key vendors globally. On the other hand, according to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry), the chemical industry in India was valued at 163 billion in 2019 and it contributed 3.4% to the global chemical industry. It ranks 6th in global chemical production. This statistic shows the lucrative opportunity for investment in businesses in Asia Pacific countries in the upcoming years.
