The total global production of arsenic amounted to approximately 60,000 metric tons in 2023, down slightly from the previous year. Metallic arsenic's primary use is in lead alloys. Peru is the world's leading arsenic producing country, having accounted for nearly half of global production in 2023.

(in metric tons)
Data includes calculated arsenic trioxide equivalent of output of elemental arsenic compounds other than arsenic trioxide; inclusion of such materials would not duplicate reported arsenic trioxide production.
World totals and estimated data have been rounded to no more than three significant digits.
This statistic has been assembled using several editions of the report.
