Why Gallium Matters
Gallium is a critical technology metal essential for modern electronics. Unlike precious metals, gallium's value comes from its irreplaceable role in:
- Semiconductors - Gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN) enable faster, more efficient chips
- LEDs & Displays - Nearly all LED lighting uses gallium-based compounds
- Solar Energy - High-efficiency solar cells depend on gallium for thin-film technology
- 5G & Communications - GaN powers the infrastructure for next-generation wireless
With 80%+ of global production concentrated in China and growing demand from the semiconductor industry, gallium presents unique supply chain dynamics for investors to understand.
