FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Beijing, China– The global metals industry is facing a major shock as prices for essential tungsten and carboneto de tungstênio raw materials from China have skyrocketed to record levels. As of October 31, 2025, the key benchmark product, Ammonium Paratungstate (APT), has breached a stunning $61,000 per tonne mark.

Latest Price Benchmarks (As of Oct 31, 2025, Beijing Time) / (1 USD ≈ 7.25 CNY):

• Ammonium Paratungstate (APT): 441,000 Yuan/tonne ≈ $61,345 per tonne
• Medium-Grain Pó de tungstênio: 670 Yuan/kg ≈ $92.41 per kilogram
• Medium-Grain Carboneto de tungstênio Powder: 650 Yuan/kg ≈ $89.66 per kilogram

These figures, particularly the APT price surging past the $61,000/tonne psychological barrier, confirm a powerful bullish trend and set a new multi-year high, sending ripples through downstream manufacturing sectors worldwide.

What’s Driving the Price Surge?

The dramatic price increase is fueled by a “perfect storm” of factors:

1. Tightening Supply: Environmental policies and a strict national mining quota system in China continue to limit the supply of raw tungsten concentrate.
2. Robust Demand: Industries like electric vehicles, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing are driving insatiable demand for carboneto de tungstênio used in ferramentas de corte and wear-resistant parts.
3. Market Sentiment: With fundamentals pointing to scarcity, bullish sentiment is dominating the market, encouraging hoarding and accelerating price gains.

Implications for Global Industries

The surge to over $92/kg for pó de tungstênio directly impacts production costs for:

• Hard Metal & Tooling Manufacturers: Facing severe margin compression, forcing price hikes for end-users.
• End-Users: Companies in metalworking, mining, and automotive sectors will see the cost of essential tools and components rise significantly.

Market Outlook

Prices are expected to remain elevated in the short term. This price explosion underscores tungsten’s critical role in global industrial supply chains and highlights the intense pressure on material costs.
