Who are the leading tungsten trioxide producers in China and what are their capacities?
China's tungsten trioxide production is concentrated among integrated players. Xiamen Tungsten leads with 31,000 tonnes annual capacity across two 10,000-tonne lines in Changting and Jiujiang, offering full-chain integration from APT to hard alloys. China Tungsten and Hightech (CTG, under Minmetals) has 11,500 tonnes capacity, leveraging the Shizhuyuan mine and specializing in high-purity material for military and premium hard alloys. Zhangyuan Tungsten operates 12,000 tonnes capacity with over 60% self-sufficiency in tungsten concentrate, giving it a clear cost advantage. CMOC Group produces 9,500 tonnes via by-product recovery from its Luanchuan operations. Guangdong Xianglu Tungsten rounds out the top tier with 9,600 tonnes of high-purity powder (≥99.9%). Second-tier producers include Jiangxi Tungsten (11,000 tonnes), Hunan Nonferrous (8,000 tonnes), and Yunnan Tin (6,500 tonnes).
