What Does the Historical and Current Antimony Market Size Trend Indicate?
The antimony market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The size of the antimony market has seen a robust expansion of late. The market that stood at a worth of $4.69 billion in 2024 is projected to increase to $5.01 billion in 2025, recording a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
Factors contributing to this growth in the past include industrial requirements, applications as a flame retardant, regulatory impacts, the growth of the electronics sector, as well as fluctuations in mining and supply.
What Can Be Expected from the Antimony Market in the Coming Years?
The antimony market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated growth in the antimony market size is robust over the next several years, with predictions indicating it will reach $6.54 billion in 2029, showing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%.
The projected growth during this period can be credited to factors like modern electronics, the rise of electric vehicles, strict regulations, worldwide economic conditions, and advancements in exploration and mining. The period will also see major trends such as green technologies, battery technologies, market surge in the Asia-Pacific region, a shift towards antimony production that is more sustainable, challenges in the supply chain, and price instability.
What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Antimony Market?
An upsurge in fire accidents and rigid fire safety regulations are projected to drive the antimony market's growth. Fire safety norms emphasize that prevention is key in averting fire-related mishaps. However, the rising occurrences of fire accidents have led to heightened demand for fire safety regulations, subsequently causing an increase in antimony production, which is widely used as a flame inhibitor in fire-resistant clothing, flame retardants, and an array of fire protection systems. For example, reports by the United States' non-profit organization, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), in November 2023 relayed that local fire departments in the US were predicted to respond to roughly 1.5 million fire incidents in 2022. These incidents resulted in the tragic loss of 3,790 lives, injured 13,250 individuals and led to property damage worth about $18 billion. Also, a notable rise in apartment fire fatalities, injuries, and property losses of approximately 14%, 7%, and 6% respectively occurred from 2021 to 2022. Thus, the escalating number of fire incidents coupled with strict fire safety regulations stimulates the growth of the antimony market.
