Germanium is a non-ferrous metal that is used in a variety of industries, including electronics, optics, and metallurgy. It is a semiconductor material, meaning it can be used to create transistors and other electronic components. It is also used in the production of fiber optics, as it has a high refractive index. Germanium is also used in the production of alloys, as it can be combined with other metals to create materials with improved properties. Germanium is a relatively rare metal, and its production is limited to a few countries. China is the largest producer of germanium, followed by Russia and the United States. The demand for germanium is driven by the electronics and optics industries, as well as the aerospace and automotive industries. Companies in the Germanium market include Umicore, Sumitomo Metal Mining, and Mitsubishi Materials. Other companies involved in the production and sale of Germanium include China Minmetals, Nippon Mining & Metals, and Norsk Hydro. Show Less Read more
