Global Germanium Market 2023 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2029

This report studies the germanium market.
Data in the report is calculated by 100% germanium.
Germanium (Ge), a chemical element between silicon and tin in Group 14 (IVa) of the periodic table, a silvery-gray metalloid, intermediate in properties between the metals and the nonmetals. Germanium did not become economically significant until after 1945, when its properties as a semiconductor were recognized as being of value in electronics. Many other substances now also are used as semiconductors, but germanium remains of primary importance in the manufacture of transistors and of components for devices such as rectifiers and photocells.
Pure germanium is a hard, lustrous, gray-white, brittle metalloid. It has a diamond like crystalline structure and it is similar in chemical and physical properties to silicon. Germanium is stable in air and water, and is unaffected by alkalis and acids, except nitric acid.
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Germanium market size was valued at USD 274.5 million in 2022 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 263.7 million by 2029 with a CAGR of -0.6% during review period. The influence of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine War were considered while estimating market sizes.
Germanium is an important material with applications in IR optics, fiber optics, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and electronic and solar industry. Fiber optics is the largest consumption field. IR optics is the second largest consumption field with consumption share of 26%. 
Germanium ores minerals are distributed in China, Russia and USA etc. China has the largest reservation. So, China is the largest production region. China accounting for 65% of global total production.
