Статья: THE WORLD MARKET FOR GALLIUM: A REVIEW (2005)

Participants in the gallium market — both producers and consumers — remember the period from July 2000 to March 2001, when prices were increasing daily and rose from $500-600 to $1800-2000 per kg within a span of eight months. Those who had long regarded gallium as the metal of the future were unprepared for the realization that the future had arrived. However, this period, which was fortunate for gallium producers, rapidly ended, and both demand for gallium and its market price fell; today, the gallium market is regarded as more depressed than the markets for other electronics raw materials. Prices for indium and selenium, tellurium and germanium are soaring, while gallium costs $300-320 per kg (for industrial-grade material).
