Antimony is a critical mineral driving advancements in renewable energy and defense. It enhances solar panels, powers energy storage, and supports military systems like munitions and flame retardants. However, China’s dominance in production and rising global demand have created supply chain vulnerabilities, pushing nations like the U.S., Canada, and Australia to ramp up mining and recycling efforts. Companies like Military Metals Corp are unlocking untapped reserves, while innovations in recycling and alternative materials aim to ease pressures. With demand projected to hit $3.5 billion by 2030, antimony’s role in clean energy and national security highlights the urgent need for resilient and diversified supply chains.
