In 2021, the non-ferrous industries suffered abrupt changes from COVID-19, power restriction, Carbon Emission Peak policy, etc. The prices of base metal generally rise while those of non-ferrous metal vary. The prices of indium, supported by capital, started to move up strongly since August but the demand remained weak; The bismuth market stayed calm and the prices, which hovered at the cost line, requested further support to break through RMB50,000/t (USD7,815/t); The tight supply of raw material pushed the germanium prices to rise continuously and the demand from fiber optic industry would further increase in 2022; Gallium market experienced a balanced supply and demand on the whole in 2021. With the tightening supply and increasing demand from semiconductor industry, will the newly expanded production capacity meet insiders’ expectations? How will the supply and demand change in non-ferrous industries in 2022? New opportunities and challenges stand close at hand.
