A report from Fortune Business Insights said that: “The global antimony market size was USD 1.01 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 1.08 billion in 2024 to USD 1.78 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.

At ambient temperature, it is stable, but when heated, it interacts with oxygen to generate stibnite trioxide (Sb2O3). It has a melting point of 630°C and a density of 6.697 g/cm3 despite its low melting point.

It is extremely rare in the Earth's crust, with only 0.4 parts per million (ppm) in the upper crust. It can be found in over 100 different mineral species, often combined with other elements, including mercury, silver, and gold. Stibnite is the most common ore material (Sb2S3).

In 2011, 2014, and 2017, it was on the EU's list of key raw commodities. Active Companies in the mining industry this week include Xtra Energy Corporation (OTCID: XTPT), Dateline Resources Limited (OTCQB: DTREF), Teck Resources Limited (NYSE: TECK), Nova Minerals Limited (NASDAQ: NVA), Critical Metals Corp.
