Report on Market Analysis and Recommendations for Export Regulations for Metal Calcium
—An Analysis Based on Three Dimensions: Supply and Demand Structure, Costs and Competition and a Proposal for Export Order Governance
Data Source: China Ferroalloys Network (ferro-alloys.com)
Report Date: 30 June 2026
In June 2026, the Chinese metallic calcium market experienced its largest supply contraction in recent years. Two major producers in Shanxi collectively reduced output by approximately 2,400 tonnes per month due to re-inspections of their permits, accounting for 30.7 per cent of national production capacity; the market shifted abruptly from a state of relaxed equilibrium to one of marked scarcity. During the same period, the price of crude metallic calcium rose rapidly to FOB 3110 per tonne, whilst the ex-works price of calcium wire rose to FOB 3520–3670 per tonne, with the industry’s average gross margin surging to over 20 per cent.
Against this backdrop, China Ferroalloys Network (ferro-alloys.com), drawing on first-hand research data and in-depth industry insights, has officially released the ‘Market Analysis and Export Regulation Recommendations Report on Metallic Calcium’. This report centres on the following core themes:

Key Supply-Side Assessment:
(1) Short term (within 3 months): The supply shortage will persist. Shanxi’s two major producers (Wenxi and Binyue) will collectively reduce output by approximately 2,400 metric tons per month, accounting for 30.7% of national production capacity. Production halts resulting from re-inspection procedures will last at least three months, and the timeline for resuming operations remains uncertain. Shaanxi Sanjiang Energy (2,100 metric tons per month) has become the largest supplier, with its capacity utilization rate already at a high level.
(2) Medium term (3–6 months): Supply will gradually recover but is unlikely to return to previous highs. Companies that have suspended operations must pass environmental and safety inspections before resuming production, which entails significant time costs. Some small and medium-sized enterprises may permanently exit the market due to excessively high compliance costs. New production capacity of 1,000 metric tons per month at Jiaokou Furui De is gradually coming online, partially offsetting the shortfall.
(3) Long Term (6 months or more): The supply landscape will be reshaped. Industry entry barriers will rise, and approvals for new capacity will become stricter. Compliant production capacity will concentrate among leading enterprises. Effective national production capacity may contract from 7,800 metric tons per month to 6,000–6,500 metric tons per month.
1.2 Demand Side: Driven by Both Domestic and Foreign Demand, Showing Steady Growth
The demand structure is shown in the table below……
Who should attend: Management at metallic calcium manufacturers, alloy procurement managers at downstream companies, import and export traders, industry analysts, investment institutions and industrial planning professionals.
