In 2023, the import of antimony to the US stood at approximately 6.51 million kilograms. Forecast data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline in import volumes with a year-on-year decrease between 0.56% to 0.64%. This steady drop results in a five-year CAGR of around -0.56%. Such a gradual reduction in imports suggests potential shifts in supply chain dynamics or changes in domestic production capabilities.
Future trends to watch include:
- Changes in global antimony supply and political relations with key exporters, potentially impacting US import volumes.
- Technological advancements or policy shifts that might boost domestic production or alternative materials reducing dependence on imports.
