OVERVIEW
In 2017, as strategic metals benefited from supply-side structural reforms, prices for non-ferrous metals, such as indium, germanium and gallium, showed an upward trend in China and the listed companies involving indium and germanium products generally turned losses into profits. Then, whether the non-ferrous metal industry can usher in new opportunities in 2018 or not?
The shutdown of backward production capacity has effectively reduced the excess supply in the market; the demand for indium, germanium and gallium has been stimulated by the localization of ITO target, the development in localization of fiber-grade germanium tetrachloride production, the mass production of CIGS PV, and the growth spurt of GaAs and other industries. Thus, the market is expected to bottom out soon.
The International IGG Forum has been held for 11 sessions so far since 2008. It has attracted leading companies and professionals both at home and abroad to learn the new developments in the industry and discuss new trends in the development of the industry. The forum, praised as "the top 1 event of the global indium, gallium and germanium industries" by industry participants, has become the wind indicator and spokesman of the global indium, germanium and gallium industries. Asian Metal hereby cordially invites you to attend and celebrate the event!
Meeting highlights:
【Brand Advantage】 The forum which gathers new and old friends both at home and abroad has been hosted by Asian Metal for 11 years in a row
【Authoritative Forum】 The most authoritative forum recognized by the global indium, germanium and gallium industries
【Frontier topics】 Discussions leading to new ideas for the development of the industry
【High-end circle】 Viewpoints and experiences from leaders in the industry chain
【In-depth Communication】 Providing a variety of two-way communication opportunities
