Asian Metal visits Yunnan Germanium

On the afternoon of January 14th, 2026, Mr. Hao Zhao, Sales Director of Asian Metal, and Mr. Arthur Yang, Indium Bismuth Germanium Gallium Market Analyst, visited Yunnan Lincang Xinyuan Germanium Industry Co., where they held a friendly discussion with Mr. Tony Zhao, the company's Marketing Director. Mr. Tony Zhao indicated that in 2025, the demand for germanium metal had diverged: demand for germanium used in solar applications increased with positive expectations, while civilian infrared demand faced significant substitution, leading to a nearly 50% year-on-year decrease in germanium usage for infrared applications, making the market outlook less optimistic.

As a long-term member of Asian Metal, Yunnan Germanium highly values the information provided by the website and expressed interest in sponsoring the 18th In Bi Ge Ga Forum, which Asian Metal will host in Nanning, Guangxi, on April 23-24th, 2026.
