Key takeaways: Antimony market outlook: Global antimony supply in 2026 is expected to be adequate due to Southeast Asian growth and stable demand Price trends: The gap between
Budget 2026 removes customs duty on sodium antimonate, a key input for solar glass. The move is expected to support PV glass makers by easing costs,
Antimony is a silvery-white metalloid with atomic number 51, used in flame retardants, lead-acid batteries, ammunition, night-vision optics, solar glass, and specialty semiconductors.
Solar Antimony is used as a clarifying agent in photovoltaic (PV) glass — and, in 2023, solar PV installations reached record levels in China
Among the different applications, EEE accounted for the largest share of the antimony stock (54 %), followed by PV glass in the construction sector (23 %), highlighting the growing role of
European antimony prices hit fresh record highs this week after a prolonged period of supply constraints, and the latest hikes are drawing concern from even the most experienced traders as they navigate
2. The Solar Glass Squeeze In the energy transition sector, antimony (as sodium antimonate) acts as a critical glass clarifier for photovoltaic (PV) modules. It improves light
