In China, owing to environmental and safety regulations, the number of operating bismuth producers have been reduced, from between 70 and 80 in 2016 to between 40 and 50 in 2017. Small- and medium-sized producers were forced to shut down for upgrades to meet stricter regulations, reducing domestic output by at least 25%.
