LEAD MARKET – OUTLOOK/FORECAST

The 2026 lead market is expected to be adequately supplied to slightly oversupplied, with demand growing only around 1% globally. Prices are likely to remain range-bound compared with more bullish metals such as copper. The strongest growth opportunities are expected in emerging markets, particularly India, while China’s slowing demand and expanding supply remain the biggest headwinds
