Dublin, Sept. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Antimony Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global antimony market exhibited a market size of US$ 2.0 billion in 2022, and it is poised for substantial growth in the coming years, with an anticipated market valuation of US$ 3.0 billion by 2028. This growth will represent a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.63% during the period from 2023 to 2028.
Versatile Antimony: A Critical Element
Antimony is a versatile chemical element that exists in both metallic and non-metallic forms. The metallic variant is characterized by its hardness, brittleness, and silvery-bluish appearance. On the other hand, the non-metallic form is found in the form of greyish powder. Antimony is sourced from ores like stibnite and valentinite and is known for its stability in dry air and resistance to alkalis and acids. Due to its poor conductivity of heat and electricity, antimony finds application in various industries, including semiconductor devices, batteries, low-friction metals, flame-proofing materials, and ceramics.
Market Drivers and Trends
The global antimony market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for antimony trioxide (ATO) in the production of flame retardants and plastic additives. ATO, an inorganic element, is commonly used in combination with halogenated compounds to enhance flame-retardant properties. Moreover, the rising adoption of antimony in the manufacturing of lead-acid batteries, solders, pipes, castings, and bearings for electronic devices like computers, calculators, and gaming devices is bolstering market growth.
Furthermore, there is a growing demand for antimony-based fiberglass composites with chemical and heat-resistant properties. The market is also benefitting from rapid industrialization and the rising need for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging, which relies on antimony as a crucial ingredient.
