China is the major germanium manufacturer and accounts for 70% of the world production capacity. Canada, the US, Russia and Belgium are the other leading germanium producers.

In 2013, germanium consumption in China escalated significantly. The output totaled 100 tonnes.

The world germanium market is forecast to exceed 160 tonnes in 2015. Germanium consumption is driven by the economy growth and the increased material applications in different end-use segments.

Please note that the report is a half-ready publication which means we have all information for the report production but it needs to be organized into a finalized product. Besides, it requires updating with the help of new data that are constantly retrieved from various sources. This process takes 8-10 business days after the order is placed. Thus, our clients always obtain a revised and updated version of each report. BAC Reports has information for more than 25,000 different products available but it is impossible to have all reports finalized and updated immediately. That is why it takes 8-10 days to update a report after an order is received.
