What is the current price of antimony?

As of July 4, 2026, Antimony traded at $0.4700 USD/oz on Spot. Prices update multiple times per business day on TSM Hub from exchange and benchmark feeds.

Which countries produce the most antimony?

The largest antimony producing countries are China (e40,000 metric tons), Russia (e40,000 metric tons), Tajikistan (e22,000 metric tons). Source: USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026.

Which countries hold the largest antimony reserves?

The countries with the largest reported antimony reserves are China (830,000 metric tons), Russia (350,000 metric tons), Bolivia (310,000 metric tons). Source: USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026.

Who are the largest global producers of antimony?

Among 840+ producers tracked on TSM Hub, the largest disclosed antimony producers include Mandalay Resources Corporation (Canada), Sun Metals Corp. / Mandalay (Costerfield, Australia) (Australia), Bolkar Madencilik (Turkish antimony operations) (Turkey). Some operating antimony producers do not publish metal-specific tonnage — such as Bolkar Madencilik (Turkish antimony operations) (Turkey), Hsikwangshan Twinkling Star Co., Ltd. (China), Hunan Huaxing Nonferrous Holdings Co., Ltd. (China) — and are listed with an “Undisclosed Output” badge instead of a rank, in line with our principle of never inventing numbers absent from primary sources. Full ranking with primary-source links is available in the producers section.

Where can I find official antimony price data?

Official antimony prices are published by Spot. TSM Hub aggregates these feeds under licensed market-data redistributor agreements and updates them twice daily.

What is the primary source for antimony production and reserves data?

Country-level antimony production and reserves figures on TSM Hub are sourced directly from the USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026, the U.S. Geological Survey's authoritative annual reference. Company-level production figures come from each producer's official annual report, production report, or regulated exchange filing.

What is stainless steel?

Stainless steel is a family of iron-based alloys containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium by mass (per ISO 15510), which forms a passive chromium-oxide layer that resists corrosion. The three principal families are austenitic (300-series, includes the workhorse 304 and corrosion-grade 316 — these contain 8-12% nickel and dominate world consumption), ferritic (400-series, no Ni, lower-cost), and martensitic (heat-treatable cutlery and turbine-blade grades). Global stainless-steel crude-melt production is approximately 60 Mt/year per industry data, with China the leading producer.

How stainless steel is priced

Stainless steel has no regulated futures contract. Pricing is by benchmark assessment from Fastmarkets, Argus, S&P Global Platts and the Chinese domestic spot service SMM. Most physical sales are priced as base price + alloy surcharge: the base price reflects conversion cost and demand, while the alloy surcharge passes through the daily LME/LBMA prices of the alloying elements (chromium via ferrochromium, nickel via the LME, molybdenum via Fastmarkets) plus the scrap value. SHFE launched a stainless-steel futures contract (SS) in 2019, now the most liquid stainless reference globally.

Where stainless steel is produced

China alone produces over 60% of world stainless steel, followed by Indonesia (the fastest-growing producer, anchored by Tsingshan-led integration), South Korea, Japan, India, USA and the EU. Tsingshan's vertically integrated complexes in Indonesia (IMIP Morowali, IWIP Weda Bay) combine nickel-pig-iron (NPI) smelting from local laterite ore with stainless melting, casting and rolling on the same site. The integration model lets Indonesian stainless beat global cost benchmarks. Per USGS MCS 2026 Nickel, Indonesian Ni output rose ~13% in 2025.

Who produces stainless steel

Top global stainless steel producers (by 2024-25 crude-melt tonnage):

China: Tsingshan Holding Group (world's #1 stainless producer), TISCO (Taiyuan Iron & Steel), Baowu Stainless, JISCO Hongxing.
Indonesia (Tsingshan JVs): via IMIP and IWIP integrated parks.
South Korea: POSCO.
Japan: Nippon Steel Stainless, Daido Steel.
India: Jindal Stainless.
Europe: Outokumpu (Finland: Tornio — world's largest integrated stainless mill), Acerinox (Spain), Aperam.
USA: ATI, North American Stainless (Acerinox subsidiary).

What stainless steel is used for

Stainless steel demand splits across:

Architecture, building & construction (ABC) — ~12% (façades, roofing, railings, fasteners).
Catering and household goods — ~25% (cutlery, sinks, cookware, drums of washing machines, dishwashers).
Industrial process equipment — ~25% (chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and dairy plant).
Transport — ~13% (auto exhaust systems, rail, ship-fitting).
Energy and heavy industries — ~12% (pulp & paper plant, desalination, nuclear).
Medical, scientific — ~5% (surgical instruments, implants — specifically 316L).
Other / general engineering — ~8%.

The energy transition is a major growth vector: stainless is essential for hydrogen pipelines, electrolyser plates and offshore-wind nacelles in marine environments.

Key facts about stainless steel supply

Stainless steel is the largest end-market for both ferrochromium and ferronickel — effectively all FeCr and the bulk of FeNi/NPI flows into the stainless chain.
Stainless scrap is the dominant secondary raw material — modern EAF stainless mills run on 75-90% scrap charges, which is one of the lowest-CO₂ routes available among engineering metals.
The International Stainless Steel Forum (ISSF / worldstainless) publishes annual production and end-use statistics and methodology for life-cycle assessment.
Reserves: not applicable. See parent metal pages Chromium, Nickel, Iron Ore.
