锑 | 行业动态：极地黄金2025年锑供应或将大幅收缩，锑价中枢有望进一步上移

Core Viewpoint - The supply of antimony from Jidi Gold is expected to significantly shrink in 2025, exacerbating the supply tightness in the market [2] Industry Status - On March 5, Jidi Gold released its 2024 annual report, indicating an antimony production of 12,700 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 53%. The production in the second half of 2024 is projected to be 4,056 tons, with both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter declines of 70% and 53% respectively [1] Supply and Demand Dynamics - The domestic antimony price has reached a historical high due to a combination of strong demand and reduced imports. The demand from sectors like home appliances is peaking, and the photovoltaic industry is expected to ramp up production ahead of market reforms [3] - In December 2024, China exported 1,571 tons of antimony oxide, a month-on-month increase of 102%. However, imports of antimony ore fell significantly, with 2,141 tons imported in December 2024, a decrease of 63% [3] - The domestic antimony ingot price was reported at 170,000 yuan per ton, an increase of 8% compared to previous highs. The price difference between domestic and international markets is over 250,000 yuan per ton, indicating high import costs [3] Long-term Outlook - The supply-demand tightness for antimony is expected to persist, with global antimony prices likely to rise further. The growth in photovoltaic installations and the increasing penetration of dual-glass components are anticipated to drive demand for antimony in glass applications [4] - The projected supply-demand gap for antimony from 2025 to 2027 is estimated at -28,000, -25,000, and -29,000 tons respectively, representing -18%, -15%, and -18% of demand [4]
