Forge ahead


Over the past 15 years, China's antimony production has drastically decreased from 170,000 tons annually to 66,600 tons in 2023. The main reasons are the scarcity of antimony resources, rising development costs, and stricter environmental regulations. Furthermore, the decline in antimony production has led to a reduction in global antimony reserves, further exacerbating the tight market situation.

Although antimony production is continuously decreasing, the application range of antimony is constantly expanding with industrial advancements, resulting in a 5.2% compound annual growth rate in antimony consumption. In 2023, antimony consumption reached 78,600 tons, directly leading to a supply shortage.

Against this backdrop, the future of the antimony industry is full of challenges and opportunities, and international antimony trade is becoming increasingly complex. Due to the scarcity of antimony resources, countries are constantly adjusting their export and import policies, and antimony market prices have experienced significant fluctuations in recent years, posing significant operational risks to related companies.

Faced with numerous challenges in the antimony industry, Huaxing Nonferrous Metals Group, with its forward-looking strategic vision and strong execution capabilities, has continuously broken through industry bottlenecks and implemented a series of combined strategies to inject new vitality into the company's development and take proactive measures. First, it has increased R&D investment, upgraded technology, and improved the direct recovery rate and recycling rate of antimony resources. It is striving to find new ore sources to ensure a long-term stable supply and strengthen cooperation with upstream and downstream industries to jointly address the market supply and demand imbalance. Second, in terms of environmental protection, it strictly adheres to national environmental regulations, adopts advanced environmental protection technologies, reduces pollution emissions during production, and strives to achieve green and sustainable development. In addition, it closely monitors international market trends and flexibly adjusts its business strategies to cope with uncertainties caused by various policies and market fluctuations. Despite the challenges, the Group not only focuses on its own development but also actively fulfills its social responsibilities. The company continuously contributes to the harmonious development of society by providing employment opportunities, supporting local economic development, and participating in public welfare undertakings. In the future, Huaxing Nonferrous Metals Group will continue to uphold the core principles of integrity, efficiency, innovation, and win-win cooperation, continuously creating value for customers, providing a good development platform for employees, and contributing more positive energy to society.

In a time of fierce competition, those who strive ahead will succeed. Amidst challenges, we must stabilize and create new situations. Although the antimony industry faces numerous challenges, through technological innovation, resource recovery, and market adjustments, the Chinese antimony industry will continue to play an important role in future industrial development, steadily moving towards a greener, more efficient, and sustainable future. Huaxing Nonferrous Metals Group will also continue to forge ahead amidst challenges and opportunities, writing more glorious chapters in the antimony industry.
