PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Antimony is vital for many industries, including batteries, solar panels, flame retardants, and ammunition. Antimony sulfide, or Stibnite, is the principal ore of antimony and is mainly used in all these sectors. The U.S. depends almost entirely on imports, mainly from China, to meet its needs. Antimony’s demand has risen due to increasing industrial use and China’s dominance in production. The silver white metal is crucial in solar panels. It makes perovskite solar cells work better by helping them absorb more light and convert energy more effectively. It also enhances thermal stability, helping panels endure extreme conditions. A report from CarbonCredits.com, a source for carbon news, said: “Research and Markets revealed that the global demand for antimony is projected to grow from $2.5 billion in 2024 to $3.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.2%. Additionally, the U.S. antimony market is expected to expand significantly, reaching an estimated value of USD 106.57 million by 2032. This growth primarily be driven by the rising demand for OSHA-regulated flame-retardant clothing. Other demand drivers like lead-acid batteries, electronics and plastics, etc. will also push future demand of antimony.” Active Companies in the mining industry this week include Xtra Energy Corporation (OTCID: XTPT), United States Antimony Corporation (NYSE American: UAMY), Perpetua Resources Corp.
