The future demand of antimony in China

This paper had summarized the consumption history of antimony in the world, involving the consumption and consumption structure. By analyzing the consumption trend of antimony in different consumption fields in the future, the demand of antimony in China in the following years had been predicted. By analyzing the developing trend of fire retardant field and the relevant demand variation of antimony, the demand of antimony in 2017～2030 had been evaluated in hypothesis conditions. By analyzing the developing trend of lead-acid battery and the relevant demand variation of antimony, the demand of antimony in 2017～2030 had been evaluated in hypothesis conditions. As for other consumption fields such as catalyst and glass ceramic, the range of demand had been evaluated. Finally, the annual demand of antimony in China in 2017～2030 had been predicted. In 2025, the annual demand of antimony in China may come to the top, approximately 77thousands tons.
