Global Production
Global lead production has seen significant growth in recent years due to increased demand in various industries, including battery manufacturing, construction, and the production of paints and coatings. China, Australia, and the United States are among the largest lead producers in the world, with China alone accounting for more than half of the global lead production. This metal continues to play an important role in the global economy due to its unique properties, such as corrosion resistance and high recyclability.
