Critical Minerals Race Heats Up as Antimony Demand Accelerates Worldwide
NEW YORK, April 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Market News Updates News Coverage - Antimony might not be a household name yet, but it's quickly becoming one of those "quietly essential" critical minerals that investors are starting to pay attention to. It's used in everything from flame retardants and batteries to semiconductors and military tech, which means it sits right at the intersection of energy, electronics, and defense. As those industries scale—especially with the push toward electrification and AI hardware—demand for antimony is climbing fast. Some market estimates suggest the global antimony market could grow from roughly $2–3 billion today to over $4–5 billion by the early 2030s
