Global Gallium Metal Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Gallium Metal market size is expected to reach $ 305 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 6.2% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Gallium is a soft, silvery-white post-transition metal (Group 13, Period 4) with atomic number 31, notable for its exceptionally low melting point (~29.8°C) and high boiling point (~2204°C). It exhibits unique properties such as non-toxicity, supercooling behavior, and the ability to wet glass or porcelain, making it valuable in semiconductors (GaAs/GaN), liquid-mirror telescopes, and medical thermometers. Unlike mercury, gallium forms stable oxide layers in air and dissolves slowly in acids/alkalis. Its alloys (e.g., Galinstan) are widely used as mercury substitutes in eco-friendly applications.
The global gallium metal market has gained strategic significance in recent years, fueled by the growing demand for advanced semiconductor materials and next-generation electronics. Gallium, a critical minor metal, plays a pivotal role in the production of compound semiconductors such as gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN), which are essential in high-performance applications including 5G infrastructure, power electronics, LED lighting, and aerospace technologies. The market is currently led by key players such as Chinalco, Cayman Aluminum, East Hope, CNGE, and RUSAL, with the top five vendors collectively controlling over 65% of the global supply, indicating a moderately concentrated competitive landscape.
China dominates global gallium production and consumption, accounting for approximately 50% of the total market share. The country’s dominance is underpinned by its well-established aluminum industry, where gallium is often recovered as a by-product of bauxite refining. Additionally, strong state-led support for semiconductor self-sufficiency and critical material control has further entrenched China’s leadership in this domain.
From a product segmentation standpoint, Primary Gallium constitutes the majority of global supply, with a market share of around 69%. This segment benefits from relatively lower production costs and direct sourcing from alumina refineries. The stability of primary gallium supply is critical for downstream applications, particularly in electronics and optoelectronics manufacturing. Recycled gallium, though environmentally favorable, remains a smaller portion of the market due to collection and purification challenges.
With the accelerating rollout of electric vehicles, 5G infrastructure, and renewable energy systems, the demand for gallium metal is expected to maintain a robust upward trajectory. However, supply-side concentration and strategic resource controls—especially in China—may introduce volatility and prompt downstream industries to explore alternative sourcing strategies and material substitutes.
