In the Indonesia tellurium market, the import trend showed significant growth from 2023 to 2024, with a notable increase of 292.31%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for imports between 2020 and 2024 stood at 100.44%. This surge in imports can be attributed to a combination of increased demand from domestic industries and favorable trade policies that facilitated market access for foreign suppliers.
By 2027, Indonesia's Tellurium market is forecasted to achieve a high growth rate of 10.08%, with China leading the Asia region, followed by India, Japan, Australia and South Korea.

Tellurium is a rare element present in the Earth`s crust. It is extracted from copper ores and used in various industrial applications, such as semiconductors, automotive parts, and more. Indonesia has significant reserves of tellurium; however, the country does not have any large-scale production facilities for its extraction or refining. Therefore, most of the supply comes from other countries such as China, Russia, India and Chile.
The growth of Indonesia tellurium market is expected to be driven by increasing demand from the electronics industry due to growing adoption of electronic devices across consumer markets. Growing government initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure will also drive demand for tellurium in different sectors like construction and manufacturing which further boost the Indonesia tellurium market. Furthermore increasing investments towards renewable energy sources along with growing use of solar panels will propel the overall growth.
Growing demand for mobile phones coupled with electric vehicles are some key factors driving growth in global Tellurium Market. Increasing focus on renewable energy resources like solar power generation technology will further fuel overall consumption rate throughout anticipated timeframe. Moreover , rising disposable income among consumers have created potential opportunities for manufacturers to offer high quality products which helps them gain competitive advantage thus boosting up sales revenue worldwide.
The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic had major effect on entire world economy including trade activities which caused disruption in supply chain globally resulting into price volatility within metals & minerals commodities sector including Tellurium market too. Manufacturers faced setback due to lockdown restrictions imposed by governments worldwide leading to decline both domestic & international business operations since March 2025. However , situation improved gradually since Q2 2025 revised indicative prices increased steadily helped companies restore their financial stability enabling them resume trading operations again by end Q3 2025.
High cost associated with exploratory processes involved while extracting Tellurium metal sometimes cause hindrance for smaller players who may lack required capital investment needed thus create difficulty when trying enter this lucrative industry space creating oligopoly nature among leading firms operating functioning around here. Moreover , stringent regulations imposed by respective regulatory bodies related environmental pollution discourage entrants significantly causing financial burden upon them additionally hampering overall industry development process.
Some prominent players are operating in the market include PT Antam Tbk, PT Smelting, Gama Group, Timah Limited Corporation, andPT Bukit Asam (Persero) Tbk
