Global Tellurium Market Insights

Global Tellurium Market size was valued at USD 550 million in 2022 and is poised to grow from USD 4580.25 million in 2023 to USD 890.50 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.50% during the forecast period (2024-2031).

The Global Tellurium Market has witnessed notable growth in recent years due to its increasing applications in various industries, including electronics, metallurgy, solar technology, and thermoelectric materials. Tellurium, a rare and brittle metalloid element, is primarily used as an alloying agent to enhance the properties of metals like steel and copper, improving their machinability and strength. Additionally, tellurium finds extensive use in the production of cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar cells, contributing to the renewable energy sector. The electronics industry relies on tellurium for its use in phase-change memory devices, which offer faster data storage and retrieval capabilities. Moreover, tellurium's thermoelectric properties enable it to convert waste heat into electricity, driving demand for its utilization in thermoelectric materials for applications in automotive and power generation. As solar energy gains prominence, the demand for tellurium is expected to remain robust due to its integral role in CdTe solar cells, which are efficient and cost-effective. However, the supply of tellurium is limited, primarily sourced as a byproduct of copper and lead refining, which can lead to supply chain constraints.

US Tellurium Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.
