China Antimony Industry Report, 2011-2012Published by: Research in China Published: Mar. 1, 2012 - 40 Pages Table of Contents
AbstractAntimony is a rare metal. In 2011, the global antimony ore reserves reached 1.80 million tons, while the static reserve-production ratio is only 12.4 years, so the supply of antimony ore raw material will be tight. China has the world's most abundant antimony ore reserves, but it still has a large gap in the supply of antimony ore raw materials. The antimony ores produced by Russia, Bolivia, Tajikistan and other antimony giants are mainly exported to China.Seen from the pattern of the global antimony industry, antimony product output of China has long accounted for over 90% of the world’s total. In recent years, the growth of antimony product output worldwide mainly comes from China. As antimony is increasingly applied to flame retardants, lead-acid batteries and other downstream areas, China has become the world's largest antimony consumer. The tight supply of antimony ore raw materials is a key hindrance to the development of Chinese antimony industry. In 2011, antimony ore concentrate output of China declined for the second consecutive year, just hitting 120,800 tons, down 4.9% year-on-year. In this case, China's antimony ore import volume continued to grow. In 2011, China imported 60,150 tons of antimony placers and concentrates, 3,214 tons of antimony oxide, 492 tons of antimony metal and products. China antimony industry has been more dependent on the overseas mineral raw materials. To address the disorderly development of antimony ore resources in China, China has enhanced rectification in Lengshuijiang and other regions where the antimony ore reserves concentrate; the shutdown of a large number of small and medium-sized antimony ore manufacturing enterprises is conducive to the rising the market concentration degree of Chenzhou Mining, Flash Star Antimony and other leading players. In Chinese antimony industry, key companies include Flash Star Antimony, Chenzhou Mining, Muli Antimony, SUNSTAR Metal Chemical and so on. Flash Star Antimony and Chenzhou Mining are the world's first and second largest antimony oxide production enterprises respectively. In 2011, total revenue of Chenzhou Mining rose by 41.76% from a year earlier, and the operating profit grew by 118.15% year on year. In 2011, Chenzhou Mining conducted trial production of a new 15,000-ton antimony oxide production line; and a 5,000-ton refined antimony expansion project commenced as well. During 2012-2013, the processing capacity of antimony products of Chenzhou Mining will be raised by 100%. The report covers: Characteristics, status quo and related policies of Chinese and global antimony industry; Analysis on Investments in Chinese and global antimony industry; Import, export, import & export quotas of antimony and its products in China; Operation, development, investment and sales of antimony and antimony product manufacturers (including Hunan Chenzhou Mining Group, Hunan Nonferrous Metals Corporation Limited, and Guangxi China Tin Group).
