In 2023, China led the global bismuth export market with a 40.03% share, though it saw a slight decline. Belgium and South Korea followed, with South Korea experiencing a 4.68% increase. France's bismuth exports surged significantly, by 15.07%, while Brazil and Romania saw remarkable spikes of 113.2% and 74.83%, respectively. Meanwhile, the United States and Germany noted declines in their shares.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential increases in exports from countries with rapidly growing shares, like Brazil, Romania, and smaller players like Denmark.
- The impact of China's slight decline on competitors, particularly emerging exporters.
- Continued volatility in traditionally significant exporters such as the United States and Germany might influence their global standing.
