Antimony is a metallic chemical element that can be acquired in two forms; metallic and non-metallic. Metallic antimony is bright, hard, brittle, and heavy; whereas non-metallic antimony is a grey powder. Antimony is a weak conductor of heat and electricity. Exposure to toxic antimony can be harmful as it can cause inflammation, skin and eye irritation, and can cause damage to lungs and heart. It is not affected by alkalis and acids and is stable at low humidity. Antimony and its alloys expand on cooling. Apart from flame retardants, antimony plays an important role as a catalyst and stabilizer in plastic additives.
The global antimony market size is expected to reach USD 3.10 billion in 2028 and register a CAGR of 5.8% throughout the forecast period. Growing demand for Antimony Trioxide (ATO) for application in plastic additives as well as flame retardants are key factors boosting revenue growth of the global antimony market currently. According to industry analysis, revenue growth of the market is expected to incline rapidly, with market size remaining steady towards the end of the forecast period.
The global antimony market is projected to remain extremely competitive. Increasing demand for antimony, technological advancements in industrial applications, and continual expansion of antimony applications in various industries are some key factors expected to open up new opportunities for key players in the market during the forecast period.
Furthermore, increasing demand for and utilization of flame retardants is expected to boost demand for antimony going ahead.
