One of the key applications for the products in the global germanium market is manufacture of solar panels in the global electronics industry. As a perfect material for manufacture of multi-junction water substrate photovoltaic cells, germanium has been witnessing consistently increasing demand over the past few years. Increasing applications of germanium ores and compounds in fabrication of high-speed ICs or integrated circuits is creating worthwhile growth opportunities in the global germanium market. Integrated circuit boards made using germanium have relatively lower cost, which bolsters their adoption.
