Portland, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/22/2018 -- The data presented in the report is a compilation of vital information gathered by expert analysts, by following an extensive research methodology.

Antimony, found in the nature as sulfide mineral stibnite, is a lustrous gray, brittle, silvery crystalline solid. The metal, in its pure form, is widely used to make specific types of semiconductor devices, such as diodes and infrared detectors. Antimony is a poor conductor of electricity and heat, and its powdered form is used in medicines and cosmetics. The most commonly used form of the metal is antimony trioxide. Flame retardant applications fuel the demand for antimony trioxide. The compound is extensively used as a catalyst for PET production. Owing to the extensive research and development, antimony finds large applications in the development of memory devices, thus replacing the conventional flash drive memory tools widely used in computers and mobile phones. The groundbreaking technological advancements are expected to provide several opportunities for the market to grow.
