Abstract: Antimony is an important raw material for industrial production which is widely used and irreplaceable. With the development of lead battery, flame retardant, alloy, semiconductor, catalyst, microcrystalline glass, chemical, military and other industries, coupled with the impact of the new crown epidemic on the global social and economic and international environmental uncertainty, strategic position of antimonyis highlighted. This paper systematically summarizes the distribution and supply, industry chain status and future development trend of antimony in China and abroad. The research shows that China's antimony resources occupy a dominant position, China's antimony has high production and consumption, the proportion of high-end products in China's antimony industry chain is not high, the demand for antimony resources has a strong growth space, and worldwide demand for antimony will remain stable over the next decade. Suggestions on strengthening domestic antimony prospecting, strengthening foreign resources development, increasing technology research and development, promoting green development of antimony industry, trengthening industrial chain integration, promoting high-quality development of application end, formulating strategic reserve system, implementing strategic reserve of antimony resources are put forward.
